Research area

My scientific interest all revolve around antibiotic resistance. I have worked on the costs and benefits of antibiotic resistance genes and how bacteria (individually and in groups) manage these trade-offs. At the moment my work focuses on the prudent use of antibiotics in metapopulations and how antibiotics could be used in a way that reduces the likelhood of resistance evolution.
