Pathogen evolution

I study the evolution, transmission and antimicrobial resistance of bacterial pathogens, with a particular focus on Staphylococcus aureus. My work combines population genomics, comparative genomics and epidemiological metadata to investigate host adaptation, mobile genetic elements, antimicrobial resistance and One Health transmission dynamics across humans, animals and environments.
