Research overview:
Our current work mostly falls into two broad areas. Some projects focus on the systemic effects of bacterial infection, with a particular emphasis on the mechanistic origin of the connection between immune responses and systemic physiological regulation. Other projects focus on how intracellular bacterial pathogens, especially mycobacteria, subvert phagocyte function to enable their own survival and cause disease. These streams tend to converge on common conserved signalling pathways and cellular mechanisms.
