Welcome! I am a microbiologist currently doing research at the University of Oxford.

I am interested in how the microbes that live in our intestines interact with us and each other. Some microbes provide us with many benefits, yet others cause disease.

I try to understand the processes that determine these outcomes and see if we can apply our understanding for better health. Check out my research to learn more.

I am also passionate about the outdoors and endurance sports. Find out more about my activities outside of the lab.

Interactions between bacteria and with the host are very common in our intestines. Above are some examples.

Why and when do these occur? What does this mean for human and animal health? Can we leverage some of these interactions for our own benefit?
