My research interests are recombinant protein expression, amplicon metagenomics, bioinformatics, plant tissue culture, molecular markers and DNA barcoding. I use E. coli and yeast for the expression of antigens and actinoporins. I use Sanger sequencing for DNA barcoding of bacteria, fungi and plant samples, and NGS to characterize bacterial and fungal communities in soil, litter, water and stool samples.
