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:
Most of my work is devoted to genomically characterising Salmonella Paratyphi A with a particular focus on AMR, virulence factors, phylogeny and global distribution of the pathogen. I am also interested in azithromycin resistance within S. Paratyphi A with a focus on the increase of resistance in low-mid-income countries.
