Personal profile
Research interests
- Monogastric (e.g. chicken and pig) gut microbiota and its interactions with host health and performance
- Antimicrobial alternatives, with special interest in reducing antimicrobial usage in farm animals
- Modulation/detection of zoonotic pathogens such as Campylobacter
- Mathematical modelling of gut microbiota
- Bacteriology and molecular genetics
