My research is dedicated to improving public health by mitigating the risks associated with foodborne pathogens and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. I focus on developing novel antimicrobials, understanding antibiotic resistance mechanisms, advancing bacteriophage therapy, and conducting antibiotic resistance surveillance and epidemiological studies. Additionally, my work delves into microbiome and resistome analysis, antibiotic resistance throughout the food supply chain, and broader food safety and health challenges.
