Investigating the evolution of antimicrobial resistance

Listeria and other invasive pathogens

I am a postdoctoral research scientist using functional genomics tools to investigate bacterial evolution and survival. I recently completed my PhD at the Quadram Institute using TraDIS-Xpress tools developed in-house to investigate bacterial biofilm formation and antimicrobial resistance. My postdoctoral work continues to use functional genomics and experimental evolution to investigate antimicrobial resistance, and I deliver TraDIS-Xpress projects for commercial partners.
