This researcher works at the intersection of microbial genomics and bioinformatics, with projects spanning bacterial genome sequencing and assembly, gene expression analysis tools, and the discovery of novel antibiotic compounds and their biosynthetic pathways. Work includes studies on Clostridium species for biofuel/solvent production, cellulose-degrading bacterial systems, and characterization of an arsenic-containing antibiotic (arsinothricin), alongside methods development for differential gene expression analysis (e.g., edgeR-based workflows).
