I am working on the BIORESIST project ( Biocide Impact on Antimicrobial Resistance in Enterobacterales in One Health settings), investigating how the use of biocides may contribute to the development and spread of resistance , particularly in multi-drug resistant bacteria . The project brings together partners from the Netherlands , United Kingdom, Norway, and Tanzania to compare whole genome sequencing data of collected isolates , patterns and attitudes of antimicrobial and biocide use , complemented by phenotypic testing. My work focuses on integrating genomic and laboratory data to better understand AMR and biocide resistance in poultry within a One Health framework .

Skills and Expertise :  AMR, ESBLs , Bioinformatics, Metagenomics , WGS
