Research

Supervisor: Professor Gordon Dougan

My research investigates the interaction between the host and bacterial pathogens at the mucosal surface of the colon. I use knock-out mice to investigate the function of host genes at this interface, and my work includes studying the host response to infections with the mouse-restricted pathogen Citrobacter rodentium and also Salmonella Typhimurium.
