Research Description:
Research areas include the study (production, mode of action and regulation of expression) of natural bioactive compounds produced by marine surface associated bacteria and genomic analysis of marine bacteria (namely Pseudoalteromonas tunicata and Vibrio sp. S14). Recent interest in metagenomic approaches (whole environmental genomics) to study marine microbial communities.
