I have several academic/research interests arising from my background in industry R&D and academic research. I'm interested in polymicrobial biofilms and inter-kingdom interactions between oral bacteria and the fungus Candida albicans, and how virulence and pathogenicity can be modulated by oral bacteria. I'm also interested in modelling infections through use of 3D tissue models (developed and cultured in vitro) and host responses to the biofilm infections, and using probitoics to selectively modulate virulence in vitro and in vivo.
My more recent research involved characterising genes involved in Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence and pathgenicity through molecular biology techniques such as cloning, gene knockout and gene expression analyses including RNAseq, qPCR.
