Research Interests

My research is focused on investigation of bacterial dormancy and resuscitation. In particular I am interested in Mycobacterium tuberculosis the causative agent of tuberculosis and Burkholderia pseudomallei the causative agent of melioidosis. My research career started with the discovery of Resuscitation-promoting factor (Rpf) which has had a lasting impact on tuberculosis research. I explore the clinical importance of Rpf and Rpf-depdendent M. tuberculosis and have developed models for validation of drugs against persister mycobacteria. I also investigate molecular protein kinase signalling mechanisms and peptidoglycan recycling. My research has been funded by BBSRC MRC Royal Society European Commission and industry.
