What I do:
I am a quantitative microbiologist who uses a systems approach to analyse the emergence and evolution of antibiotic resistance and applies synthetic biology approaches to engineer solutions to tackle those.
Research Interests:
-
Single-cell analysis of antibiotic persistence
-
Collective tolerance towards antibiotic resistance
-
Horizontal gene transfer
-
Evolution of antibiotic resistance
-
Engineering and analysing therapeutic bacteriophages
-
Engineering antibiotic production in bacteria
-
Engineering diagnostic and therapeutic probiotics
Key Projects, Countries, and Partners:
-
Wang lab, UW Madison, USA: analysis of antibiotic persistence
-
Friedman lab, Hebrew University, Israel: population heterogeneity of antibiotic production
-
Human Technopole, Italy - Evolution of genetically engineered organisms
