Research Focus

My work aims to identify novel S. aureus genes that promote biofilm formation, and manipulate host neutrophil chemotaxis responses during infection. Not only will this further our understanding of host-pathogen interactions, but may even identify vaccine candidates that have therapeutic potential.
