Curriculum Vitae
Interests
A main interest underlying my work has been to utilise genome sequence information together with other high-throughput technologies to determine how bacteria respond to stress conditions. Given the major role microorganisms play in supporting aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, there is great potential to take advantage of recent molecular advances to focus research on species that underpin key ecological processes.
