Post-doctoral Fellow


My PhD research (University of Otago, New Zealand) focused on understanding the influence of CRISPR-Cas on phage-bacteria interactions. I am now looking at the effect of different ecological conditions on the coevolution of CRISPR-Cas immunity and phages, to understand in which environments CRISPR-Cas immunity is most beneficial.
