Research theme: Ecology and Evolution of Staphylococci
Research Interests
I am interested in human commensal and pathogenic bacteria, in particular antibiotic resistance and evolution of virulence.
At present my research focuses on ecological and evolutionary interactions among human opportunistic pathogen, S. aureus, and other commensal staphylococci colonizing humans, primarily S. epidermidis.
