Ecosystem Resilience and Microbiomes
We aim to mitigate the adverse effects of environmental disturbances on ecosystems by investigating environment-microbiome interactions using a systems biology approach.
Food Safety and Bacterial Pathogens
We aim to reduce the burden of foodborne diseases and improve food safety through understanding the ecology and adaptation of foodborne bacterial pathogens.
Antimicrobial Resistance in the Environment
We aim to reduce human exposure to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by studying the emergence, spread, and evolution of AMR in the environment.
