My research is focused on taking molecular approaches to investigate complex questions in microbial ecology in both fundamental and applied sciences.
My main fields of research include how bacteria perceive their environment, and change accordingly, interactions with bacteriophages and bacterial plasmids that lead to evolution and bacterial resistance to antibiotics. In the past years, 2nd and 3rd generation DNA sequencing has become a favorite tool for investigating bacterial, phage and plasmid diversity in in research related to human health and bacteriophage-host interactions.
