Our current research projects focus on:

- The genetics and enzymology of cell wall glycopolymer degradation and roles in cellular processes including cell division, morphogenesis and the expression of virulence properties.

- The enzymology, structural biology and associated bacterial physiology of lesser-known penicillin-binding proteins, and penicillin-binding protein variants associated with β-lactam resistance.

- Application of artificial intelligence to design to design novel inhibitors of privileged drug targets in bacteria.

To better study the biology and virulence of fungal pathogens, we are developing new genomic technology platforms for diverse fungal species. We are exploiting CRISPR-Cas9 based technologies to revolutionize the way we do high-throughput functional genomic analysis in fungal pathogens. This is enabling us to map large-scale genetic interaction networks, and uncover genetic factors and pathways that mediate important phenotypes associated with pathogenesis, antifungal drug resistance, and other biological processes associated with fungal infectious diseases.
