Environmental pathogens

This group is currently working on environmental drivers of melioidosis, a tropical bacterial infection present in northern Australia and Southeast Asia.

They have recently joined a multinational metagenome project that uses comparative genomics to understand the evolutionary origins of bacterial virulence.

In other developments, the group is improving rapid identification and genotyping methods for bacterial infections, with special emphasis on deployable laboratory capability.
