Population genomics and evolution of pathogenic bacteria, antimicrobial resistance, genomic epidemiology, precision diagnostic.
Vector mosquito biology, malaria transmission, and vector/pathogen interactions. Novel interventions for malaria elimination.
Basic and translational research to engineer bacteria to understand and develop new treatments for neurological diseases via the gut-brain axis..
Our lab seeks to uncover novel regulatory mechanisms of biofilm formation to undermine bacterial survival in chronic infections.
Deciphering the mechanisms of host immune system manipulation by human eukaryotic pathogen – Toxoplasma gondii.
Bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, dynamics of bacterial nanomachines, microbial subcellular organization.
Translational research in biomaterials (antifouling, antiplatelet, antibacterial, and antiviral) for tissue engineering and medical device applications
A bacterial pathogenesis/food safety lab that specializes in the detection and characterization of pathogens from food animal sources that impact human and animal health.
All facets of host-parasite interactions during malaria, ranging from molecular pathogenesis to malaria immunology to transmission
We use genetic and genomic approaches to understand mechanisms of fungal pathogenesis and drug resistance.
