Infectious Diseases and Pathology

The research interests on how pathogens are transmitted and controlled including, environmental survival, vector biology, wildlife reservoirs and biofilms in intensive farming units and processing in life forms. Pathogen evolution and understanding the molecular basis of pathogenesis are closely related with bioinformatics and genetics groups. The strong focus on antimicrobial resistance including the antimicrobial resistance and how it influences pathogen fitness and the development of novel control strategies including vaccines and probiotics.
