One of the most widespread fungal infections affecting 20-25% of the global population is dermatophytosis. This is caused by fungi that infect the skin, nails, and hair, leading to common conditions such as athlete’s foot or ringworm. Read more
We are investigating the complex interplay between cell-cell signalling (quorum sensing), microbial lifestyle (i.e., free-living planktonic cultures vs sessile biofilm communities), growth phase and virulence in gram-negative bacteria. Read more
Bacterial pathogens respond rapidly to environmental change, in ways that can influence their growth, virulence, antimicrobial resistance and, therefore, infection outcomes. Read more
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is a major cause of diarrhoeal disease in industrialized and non-industrialized countries and has been shown to be the cause of travellers’ diarrhoea and persistent diarrhoea in children and HIV patients. Read more
Phytophthora infestans, also known as potato late blight, stands as one of the most formidable oomycete pathogens in agriculture, inflicting economic damage surpassing $6 billion every year. Read more

Antibiotic resistance is projected to cause 10 million deaths p.a. by 2050, with gram-negative pathogens comprising 9 of the 12 bacteria that pose the greatest threat. Read more
In this age of increasing antimicrobial resistance, bacterial infections remain a major global health burden. During infection, bacterial pathogens deliver virulence proteins into the host cells. Read more
