MD PhD. Interested in infectious diseases, biofilms, c-di-GMP signalling, evolution and AMR.
Last project of my PhD is out as a preprint!
📣 Preprint Alert: How can evolution recruit existing enzymes during bacterial lifestyle changes?

Discover how mutations in a bifunctional enzyme 🔄 alter bacterial c-di-GMP metabolism, decoupling it from external polyamine signaling, and steering cells from a planktonic to a biofilm lifestyle 🦠
Biofilm selection constitutively activates c-di-GMP synthesis by the bifunctional enzyme MbaA
Biofilms, in which microbes are encased within a self-produced matrix, represent the primary mode of microbial life. Yet, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing biofilm formation rema...
