RESEARCH INTERESTS
We are focused on understanding the physiology of bacterial pathogens in relation to chronic infection. We study the mechanisms by which bacteria sense starvation stress, shut down metabolism and maintain cell integrity to enter into a persistent state within the context of chronic infections.
We employ an eclectic mix of approaches including molecular genetics, mutational studies, transcriptomic and metabolomics approaches, targeted proteomics and flow cytometry as well as in vitro characterisation of proteins.
Our research is in two main disease areas:
- Tuberculosis.
- Infections of the Cystic Fibrosis Lung
