About

I am a postdoctoral fellow in Julian Parkhill’s group with an interest in microbial functional genomics, in particular Klebsiella pneumoniae) and other Enterobacteriaceae species (Salmonella Typhimurium, Enterobacter cloacae).
 

Research

My main research interests are antimicrobial resistance in Enterobacteriaceae and host-pathogen interactions of Klebsiella pneumoniae (especially Klebsiella macrophage interactions). I am using different sequencing-based methods to understand how bacteria cope with certain stresses (gene regulation) and which genes are important during different conditions (gene fitness). I want to know how, when and why genes and their products are used.
