Bacterial genomics and evolution
My research uses very high-thoughput sequencing and phenotyping technologies to understand the evolution of bacterial pathogens on short and long timescales; how they transmit between hosts on a local and global scale, how they adapt to different hosts and how they respond to natural and human-induced selective pressures.
