  Human Health Environment

• Keywords:

  genomics; population genetics; bacteria; parasites;

• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  I have extensive experience in the population & evolutionary genomics of clonal bacteria, including pangenomics (doi: 10.1038/s41598-019-54004-5), outbreak tracking (doi: 10.1099/mgen.0.000352), and long-read sequencing for plasmid resolution (doi: 10.1128/mSphere.00130-19). My background spans bacterial and parasite (Leishmania) genomics, and I am interested in developing better models of pangenome evolution, HGT and adaptation.

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  I am interested in projects involving pangenome analysis of gram -ve bacteria or unicellular parasites (NTDs). I am interested in resolving genome structure, plasmid variation, phylogenomic patterns, HGT, pan-interactomics, and population dynamics in diverse pathogens.
