Biography
I’m an internationally-recognised researcher in antimicrobial resistance and infectious disease. Regarding the former, I am particularly interested in movement of antimicrobial resistance genes between bacteria and their contamination in the wider environment thereby acting as a reservoir. Regarding the latter, I predominantly focus on a group of marine bacteria called Vibrio species that cause disease in humans (e.g. diarrhoeal disease such as cholera) and marine animals (e.g. aquaculture diseases).
