Hollie is a PhD researcher, working on a project looking at the potential for low intensity pulsed ultrasound as an adjunct to antibiotic therapy against bacterial (Staphylococcus aureus) biofilms. Her PhD is funded by a Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Scholarship award, and her cosupervisor is Prof. Graham Stafford.

Rawan is a PhD researcher using novel polymers developed by our colleagues at Bradford University  to quench quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. Her project is funded by the Saudi Government, and she is cosupervised by Prof Graham Stafford and Dr William Martin (Bradford). 

Joey is PI of the lab, a microbiologist and tissue engineer with wider interests in polymer chemistry, engineering, materials, and imaging. She is also Treasurer for OMIG (Oral Microbiology & Immunology Group), a Policy Subcommittee member of the Society for Applied Microbiology (SfAM) and on the Editorial Board for Frontiers in Oral Science. Out of the lab she is a member of The Exiles, a historical European martial arts group, and also enjoys reading dystopian fiction, eating (a lot), travel, and being silly with her family.

Long term collaborator and guitar afficionado Anthony is based at the Kroto Institute in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering with Prof. Sheila MacNeil. He is working with Nicola on on our UK-Pakistan British Council funded project looking at sugar-based dressings for chronic wounds. Anthony is investigating the pro-angiogenic potential of the dressings.
