Expertise: -Understanding proteins from microbial pathogens, especially those involved in essential metabolic pathways or otherwise important for pathogenicity, bacterial survival and anti-microbial resistance (e.g. proteins from the TB-causing bacteria M.tuberculosis (M.tb) and the opportunistic pathogen S. aureus).

The aim being to understand not only the role of these proteins in the bacteria and disease, but also uses structural information to design inhibitors that could become future drugs to treat microbial
diseases.

-Understanding the molecular basis and communication networks behind protein cooperativty and allostery

-Bio-engineering proteins to act as tools in a range of applications

Structural Biology
Protein Chemistry
Menaquinone Biosynthesis
X-ray Crystallography
Bacterial Proteins
Inhibitor Design and Screening
Biochemistry
Bacterial Pathogensis
Anti-Microbial Resistance
Bioengineering (Protein Engineering)
