Understanding bacteria and the viruses that infect them

My research interests lie in understanding the interactions between bacteria and their bacteriophages - viruses that only infect bacteria. These 'phages' can either kill their bacterial hosts or change them by facilitating horizontal transfer of genes to nearby bacteria. Some recent projects have focused on new routes of horizontal gene transfer by staphylococcal phages (phages that only infect staphylococci) and how lytic phages can overcome anti-phage defense systems like CRISPR-Cas in S. aureus
