Research overview
Our research work covers fundamental studies of individual organisms at a genetic and biochemical level, through to metagenomics.
Metagenomics are used to examine the complex interactions in microbial populations. This is applied to improve gut health, control fermented food production and to study the spread of antimicrobial resistance determinants.
We use techniques such as phenomics, genomics and transcriptomics to relate microbial physiology to gene regulation and expression and to understand their environmental control.
Research areas
Current areas of ongoing research:
•Rapid pathogen detection
•Metal and antibiotic resistance of bacteria
•Modelling of resistance spread and drug discovery
•Foodborne and zoonotic diseases
•The microbiological safety of food including novel decontamination processes
•Development and use of marker genes to study bacterial interactions with hosts and the environment
