Development of the infant gut virome

Studying the active role of bacteriophages in the infant gut microbiome in health and malnutrition.

Xenobiotics as inducers of active prophages

Studied the effects of xenobiotics on inducing putatively active prophages in gut bacteria. This project served as the basis for my Honours thesis.

Bacteriophage tail fibers and host range

Studied bacteriophage tail fibre genetics, morphogenesis, and host range.
