Multiform antimicrobial resistance in bacteria
We aim to understand antibiotic tolerance, a phenomenon by which bacteria that have not developed resistance to an antibiotic, survive exposure to an otherwise lethal concentration of that antibiotic. To do so, we developed unique, forward-genetic methods that allow for separation of mutants displaying tolerance from those displaying resistance. Tolerant mutants are tractable tools for studying the molecular mechanisms underlying bacterial tolerance of both genetic and phenotypic origin. These mechanisms will inform the development of new therapeutic strategies that counter the consequences of antibiotic tolerance to shorten treatment, curb disease recurrence, and limit antibiotic resistance

Spore Display for the simple microbial production of immobilized proteins
Spore display is a robust technique that leverages bacterial spores as a stable platform for the presentation of functional proteins on their surface. This method utilizes the inherent durability and environmental resilience of bacterial spores, which are resistant to heat, radiation, and chemical degradation, making them ideal carriers for protein display in various applications. By genetically engineering specific proteins onto the spore coat, we can easily can produce immobilized proteins. Spore display cheap, easy and scalable. Furthermore, the simplicity of spore-based expression systems reduces the need for complex purification processes, enhancing the feasibility of producing enzymes, antigens, and therapeutic proteins on an industrial scale. In my talk I will present examples form our previous and ongoing projects around spore display. I will as well touch on some other projects such as automation and synthetic genomic regions.
