Westra Lab
Westra Lab
During my PhD (Wuhan University, China), I studied mechanisms of biosynthesis and regulation of siderophores which are produced by bacteria to acquire iron from the environment. After graduation, I went to work as a lecturer and research fellow at Nanjing Medical University, China. My research work in China focuses on phages of drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Now I am an academic visitor in the lab of Prof. Edze Westra, University of Exeter. My project here aims to understand the role played by prophages in conferring defence against other phages and competition with other bacteria.
