Research Areas

Overview

The programme focuses on three areas of research

Pathogen Evolution & Transmission

  • Genetic characterization of local isolates
  • Phylogeny studies
  • Population genetics

Host-Microbe Interactions

  • Host-pathogen interactions
  • Host Microbiome (virome; phageome)
  • Inter-kingdom/multi-species communication
  • Local bacterial drug-resistance; molecular markers of drug resistance

Vaccine & Therapeutics

  • Vaccine platform technologies
  • Antimicrobials
  • Monoclonal antibodies
  • Phage therapy
  • Immune therapies

Core support: Animal models; organoid culture systems; high throughput drug screening; bioinformatics; strain collections
