My research interests lie in host-pathogen interactions and the molecular basis of virulence. My research is broad-ranging and multidisciplinary, from understanding the roles of individual bacterial proteins in virulence, studying the within-host population dynamics of bacterial pathogens and understanding the host response to infection. My research focuses on bacterial pathogens of veterinary and clinical significance, including; enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella enterica. I aim to use integrated approaches where advanced molecular, genomic, proteomic and microscopy techniques, in combination with mathematical and statistical models, enable me to tease out heterogeneous events in infection.
