We are interested in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, lung infections in cystic fibrosis, mechanisms of antibiotic tolerance and novel antimicrobials. Our research is multi-disciplinary and collaborative, bridging microbiology, genomic, molecular and cellular biology approaches in mechanistic and translational studies of bacterial infections. We employ a broad range of bacterial and in vitro human cell culture systems, mouse infection models and translational studies with human samples. 

 

Our projects are focused on two main themes: 1) Pseudomonas aeruginosa microbiology and 2) Host-pathogen interactions in lung infections.
