Research

I am a Research Associate in Henrik Strahl's lab and I work on elongasome dependant cell wall synthesis. Current project combines single molecule tracking microscopy and biochemistry to understand how RodA regulates the MreB dynamic and therefore the peptidoglycan synthesis. This BBSRC project is shared with Seamus Holden (Warwick University) and Waldemar Vollmer (Newcastle University).
