My research focuses on uncovering the evolutionary forces that drive antimicrobial resistance in Mycobacterium species. I use comparative genomics to examine how genetic variation, from single nucleotide polymorphisms to larger structural changes, underpins bacterial adaptation and resistance phenotypes.
By integrating evolutionary analyses with in silico protein modelling and docking assays, I investigate how mutations affect binding affinity and highlight potential novel drug targets. My aim is to link evolutionary patterns with molecular function to better understand how resistance emerges and spreads, ultimately informing strategies to tackle antimicrobial resistance.
