Background
I am a synthetic biologist and molecular biologist with experience in bacterial transport systems and phage therapy, both in academic and industrial settings.
Currently, I am working in the group of Prof Tract Palmer on the Tat secretion system of Escherichia coli, to elucidate structure-function features that regulate the transport mechanism of the TatABC complex.
