Research Profile
Section Affiliation: Molecular Genetics and Cellular Microbiology
Research Interest:
My long-term research goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms that control microbial growth in diverse environments, such as infection sites and biotechnological processes. To that end, our lab builds genomic and synthetic biology tools with a focus on essential genes. We apply these tools to the discovery of antimicrobials, the synthesis and degradation of bioplastics, and pathogen detection. We develop some of these applications in Burkholderia, a group of Gram-negative bacteria that ha
