Overview
I am researching antibiotic resistance, and how we might remove antibiotic resistance genes using CRISPR as a biotechnology. Beyond that, I am interested in plasmid and mobile genetic element ecology and interactions with their bacterial hosts.
Previously, I undertook my PhD in this group supervised by Prof Stineke van Houte and Prof Will Gaze. I also completed an MRes degree on the interplay of Restriction-Modification and CRISPR-Cas under the supervision of Prof Edze Westra.
You can also find me on Twitter (@davvi36) and Researchgate, or my profile on the van Houte lab website.
