Biography
My laboratory focuses on bacterial cell biology, developing synthetic biology toolsets and methods for genetic engineering of a broad range of Gram positive and negative bacteria, using bacteria (particularly cyanobacteria) for synthetic biology applications, notably carbon capture, compound production and natural products discovery, and characterising the role of microbes in global biogeochemical cycles.
