Biography

My research interests include microbial genetics, ecology and evolutionary biology in the current context of climate change contributing to food security and economic well-being of communities as well as helping to safeguard global health. During my studies I have developed new molecular tools for understanding the selection pressures that underlies the evolution of virulence and antibiotic resistance.
