What I do:

I am a first-year PhD rotation student in the Cambridge Biosciences BBSRC DTP programme. My current rotation project is with the Welch Lab, Department of Biochemistry, where I am investigating transcriptional regulation of biofilm-associated proteins in the opportunist pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

What I do:

My research combines my expertise in cellular membrane dynamics and host:pathogen interactions. I study how bacterial pathogens interact with and manipulate eukaryotic membranes to enable their own growth and pathogenicity.

What do I do?

I catalogue ecological relationships and potential spatial separations between cystic fibrosis airway microbiome species from a hybrid method of statistics, mathematical modelling and time-series data of clinical and laboratory samples.
