Current research
My research interests revolve around incorporating cutting-edge genomic tools into interdisciplinary, One Health initiatives. My research has encompassed the genomic and molecular epidemiological study of several bacterial pathogens, including Bacillus anthracis, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, and Streptococcus agalactiae. Many of my research questions focus on pathogen transmission and improving the tools to facilitate molecular epidemiological investigations. Other areas of interest include rapid sequencing-based diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance (particularly related to aquatic environments) and sustainable aquaculture.
As a veterinarian, I feel well-suited to work in an interdisciplinary manner, and have led projects from sample collections in the field, to microbiology and molecular laboratory work, through to downstream bioinformatics and phylogenetics. I have a strong interest in knowledge exchange and research impact, which I feel can best be achieved through interdisciplinary approaches and the involvement of various stakeholders and end-users throughout the design and implementation of studies.
