研究领域

My research investigates the evolution of genetic diversity in human and bacterial populations, with a current focus on bacterial species that have high profile clinical significance in the UK. I use an interdisciplinary approach that combines statistical population genetics, medical microbiology and biological anthropology, and I collaborate with researchers located in the Oxford Departments of Zoology and Statistics and at the John Radcliffe Hospital. We want to understand how antibiotic resistance and pathogenicity emerges from benign human commensal species, and how rapidly can newly evolving lineages attain a global reach across human host populations.
