مختصر السيرة الذاتية
The generation of genetic diversity is a central facet of evolution by natural selection. Pathogenic and commensal bacteria provide a rich model for studying the importance of genetic diversity and it’s rate of generation. These organisms are subject to stringent and adaptable responses from their hosts as well as competition from other microbes and attack by bacteriophages. Most bacterial species adapt to, or survive, these challenges through genetic variants and as a result multiple mechanisms have evolved in these organisms to generate genetic diversity. Therefore, I'm interested in understanding and investigating these genetic variations that lead to adaptation of pathogenic and commensal bacteria.
