A PhD candidate at University of Copenhagen. My research focuses on Bacteriophages (temperate phages) and transduction in Staphylococcus aureus. My work focuses on studying the phage-host interaction
Briefly, I’ve looked into the evolutionary/adaptation aspects of transduction and investigated which of the bacterial genes has an impact on phage survival and stability within the cell. Besides the influence of transduction frequencies rate on the dissemination of resistance genes in a bacterial population.
