Research Interests

Current research focuses on the interaction of phages with their bacterial hosts in a variety of systems. This includes:

• The role of phages in horizontal gene transfer in animal slurries (NERC), in collaboration with researchers at the University of Nottingham.
• Understanding the function of cyanophage auxiliary metabolic genes, with collaborators at the University of Warwick.
• Development of phage cocktails against aquaculture pathogens, with collaborators at the University of Copenhagen and Centro de Investigciones Biologicas del Noroeste, La Paz.
