My research explores the evolution and adaptation of Staphylococci in healthcare environments where they are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Drawing on over four years of bacterial genomics expertise working as a bioinformatician, I leverage Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) to characterise Staphylococci isolated from healthcare environments. Currently, my research investigates the within-host evolution of Staphylococcus epidermidis with a focus on IS elements as drivers of genetic diversification.
