Biography

My research focuses on the evolution, transmission, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of bacterial pathogens in a One Health context. I use comparative and population genomics to understand how pathogens such as Campylobacter, E. coli, and Acinetobacter adapt to human, animal, and environmental niches. Much of my work involves developing and applying genomic tools for source attribution, AMR prediction, and outbreak investigation, with an emphasis on integrating genomic data into public health decision-making. I co-lead international collaborations across Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia, including studies on zoonotic transmission, AMR surveillance, and vaccine-target discovery. I am particularly interested in high-risk bacterial lineages, the role of mobile genetic elements in resistance dissemination, and the application of machine learning to large-scale genomic datasets. Beyond research, I’m committed to open science, global health equity, and capacity building in microbial genomics.
