Research Interests - My research interests involve using molecular techniques to study the microbial ecology of wetlands and freshwater streams, and the role gut microbes play in human health. Along with this latter project, we are studying the mechanism in which probiotic bacteria (e.g., lactic acid bacteria) interact with other microorganisms and host cells. Another area of interest deals with the development of antimicrobial compounds for use in a variety of everyday products. |
