What I do:
My research interest is in host-pathogen interactions in the context of intracellular bacteria. My project looks at Orientia tsutsugamushi, a bacterium that causes scrub typhus and aims to identify the mechanisms by which Orientia tsutsugamushi differentiates from an intracellular to an extracellular state during its lifecycle in humans. I utilise proteomics and spatial transcriptomics to gain a global insight into the processes regulating different stages of Orientia tsutsugamushi infection.
Research Interests:
Host-pathogen interactions, proteomics, molecular biology
