Research
My research interests are in metagenomics and organismal genomics. I also have interests in evolutionary and population genomics. During doctoral studies at the University of Oxford, I investigated the genetics of human susceptibility to tuberculosis and malaria.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Land, Crop and Food Sciences,University of Queensland, Australia, working on bioinformatics and metagenomics.
More specifically, I am interested in:
- Identification and characterisation of repetitive elements in genomes
- Phylogeny and evolution of transposable elements in the Brassicaceae
- Coral metagenomics
- Canola-associated soil metagenomics
- Host-pathogen co-evolution in blackleg disease (a fungal disease of canola and other land crops)
- Host-pathogen co-evolution in tuberculosis
- The genomics of longevity in Teleosts
