Investigating interactions between temperate bacteriophages and their bacterial hosts
Our research focuses on Bacteriophages (phages), which are viruses that infect and kill bacteria, but can also form partnerships as prophages, acting like internal puppet masters to change the fundamental biology of their bacterial hosts. Read more
Combining protein modelling and synthetic biology to alter and expand of host range of phages
Phage therapy relies on the use of bacterial viruses for treatment of infectious diseases. Bacteriophages are natural predators of bacteria, but their specificity varies significantly depending on the host species. Read more
Bacteriophage-based approaches for controlling infections associated with haemodialysis catheters
Healthcare-associated infections cause life-threatening harm to patients, incur major additional treatment costs and is high NHS priority. Read more
Understanding the molecular mechanism of a novel innate bacterial defence system and its synergy with CRISPR-Cas
Prokaryotes have evolved over billions of years alongside their viruses, the bacteriophages, or “phages”. To prevent viral infection, prokaryotes have evolved rudimentary immune mechanisms, the most widespread and well‐studied of which are the Restriction‐Modification and the CRISPR‐Cas enzymes.

The evolution of bacterial immune systems, microbiology, evolutionary biology, genetics [PhD Biological Sciences]
Project Description. Recent years have witnessed tremendous developments in a field of biology that studies microbial immune systems, which protect bacteria and archaea from viruses (bacteriophages), plasmids and other selfish mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Read more
