Our microbiology studies cover diverse fields including food, beverages, agriculture, and healthcare. We investigate everything from the molecular processes behind pathogen activity - including how they interact with hosts and survive in various settings - to methods for controlling microbes throughout the food production process.
A major emphasis lies on using molecular biology techniques to study microbial behavior in intricate systems like the digestive tract of mammals. This research seeks to enhance knowledge about how dietary changes affect gut bacteria and livestock productivity.
Our team possesses specialized knowledge in bacteriophage biology and genetics - viruses that target specific bacteria - and their use as biological control tools and diagnostic methods in food safety and animal health.
We coordinate comprehensive research initiatives assessing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threats in farming operations, particularly dairy and poultry production systems.
