Our research focuses on the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial resistance is a serious problem affecting thousands of lives each year. Recent outbreaks of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have illustrated the severity of the resistance problem.

Our lab is investigating several approaches to combat the threat of resistance.
