Expertise
My research focused on the molecular microbiology and pathobiology of microorganisms, with a particular emphasis on the human opportunistic yeast Candida albicans. I investigate how microorganisms adapt to changing environments and how these adaptations influence their physiology and interactions with their host or environment. My work combines microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, microscopy and image analysis to study the regulation of growth, morphology, metabolism and microbial interactions. I also have expertise in developing quantitative image analysis pipelines and analysing microscopy-based and phenotypic datasets. I am currently applying this expertise to the study of cable bacteria, investigating the mechanisms underlying their unique physiology and ecological role.
