Since 2001, my career has been centered on microbial genetics. Initially, I studied molecular virology, focusing on arboviruses like dengue and yellow fever viruses.
Later, I shifted to bacterial genetics, specifically exploring antimicrobial resistance (AMR). I studied how genes causing multidrug resistance are transferred between bacteria.
I worked on a project combining microfluidic and molecular biology techniques during my postdoctoral years. This allowed us to study bacterial behavior and response to antibiotics at a tiny scale, helping us understand AMR dynamics in microbial communities.
Recently, I've been investigating Big proteins found in multidrug resistance plasmids in bacteria. These proteins are crucial for antibiotic resistance, and I'm working on strategies to combat AMR using innovative methods like nanobodies.
I am actively seeking new career opportunities where I can leverage my expertise in microbial genetics to contribute to impactful projects, particularly in the realm of One Health initiatives.
