Research summary

This researcher's work spans two distinct areas over time: earlier projects on biomaterials for bone and tissue engineering (such as hydrogels and metal alloys for implants), and more recent work on Staphylococcus aureus infections, particularly in the context of cystic fibrosis. Recent studies focus on repurposing MEK1/2 inhibitors (drugs that block a specific cell-signaling pathway) as dual-purpose treatments that fight both bacterial infection and inflammation. This research combines microbiology, drug repurposing, and host-pathogen interaction studies aimed at addressing antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.

Publication output was minimal and sporadic (about one per year) through the late 2010s and early 2020s, then increased somewhat from 2024 onward with multiple outputs per year.
