研究领域

In princple, my laboratory is a molecular parasitology lab which originally focused on the metabolic adaptations of microbial eukaryotes to low oxygen or complete lack of oxygen (see for examples: Nature 426, 172-176 and Current Biology 8, 580-585). Research includes major human pathogens such as Entamoeba histolytica, Trichomonas vaginalis and Blastocystis and our aim is to understand their unusual biochemistry as these might lead to new drug targets. New parasites in the group are those from the genus Aphanomyces. These parasites include causative agents of two notifyable diseases: crayfish plague and epizootic ulcerative syndrome in fish. In addition, we study microbial eukaryotes found in low-oxygen environments such as the rumen and termite hindgut as these micro-organisms have an extended repertoire of active enzymes that are useful for biofuel and other industrial purposes. Rumen microbes also play a major role in animal nutrition so this work has importance for food security as well. A recent new research direction involves the use of algae to regenerate mine waste, this is an extension of my involvement in the genome of Emiliania huxleyi (Nature 499, 209-213). My lab uses a variety of techniques to answer our research questions. Molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics and next-generation sequencing methods are routinely used.
