Biography
Original training was in Biochemistry and Genetics, but the focus of my current research is on the application of molecular techniques to study various aspects of applied microbiology. Long term interest in the development of phage-based methods of bacterial detection (specifically Mycobacteria). Recent research focus has been on the development of rapid, non-recombinant, phage-based tests for the detection of mycobacterial pathogens for the food and agriculture sectors.
