Research Interest
I have a wide a wide scope of research interests in medical microbiology, including hospital epidemiology, molecular microbiology, infection control, quality improvement and patient safety. My research philosophy can be simply summarized in this statement; ‘From bench to bedside’, I am mainly focused on research that can be translated into an improved quality of care for our patients. As an example of quality focused research, I have participated in a research study focused on the molecular surveillance and detection of mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in Chlamydia trachomatis. For the purposes of this epidemiological study, I have participated in adapting and optimizing a method for multilocus sequence typing to be used to identify potential clinical of treatment failure in short order.
