Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher's work spans infectious disease and drug discovery, including studies on SARS-CoV-2 transmission and evolution, Clostridioides difficile infection and its bacteriophages, and the development of small-molecule and nanoparticle-based therapeutics such as niclosamide analogs and lipid nanoparticles for RNA delivery. The research combines genomic epidemiology, microbiology, and medicinal chemistry approaches to study infections and design potential treatments. Prospective students would likely engage with topics ranging from pathogen genomics to drug and gene-delivery development.
