Biography
Dan attained his undergraduate Microbiology degree in his native Wales at Cardiff University in 2006. From there he came to Imperial and completed his PhD in 2010 studying the molecular mechanisms of the functions of meningococcal Type IV pili in the Pelicic group at the then named Centre for Molecular Microbiology & Infection. Since then he has worked as a Postdoctoral researcher in the Wigneshweraraj group at the MRC Centre for Bacteriology & Infection. Recently Dan was awarded an Imperial College London Junior Research Fellowship and will begin his independent research into how bacteria cope with stresses and potentially how we could exploit these responses to treat persistent infections.
