Research Interest

Pollution ModelAir and metal pollution, bacterial infectious disease and antibiotic resistance Pollution and antimicrobial resistance are two of the major global challenges currently faced (World Health Organisation). Our research involves the elucidation of how bacteria adapt to air pollution and metal stress including anthropogenic metal pollution of the environment, and how this impacts bacterial survival in a host and in the environment, and drives antibiotic resistance.
