Westra Lab
Having studied for my BSc in Zoology and MSc in Pathogen Evolution (University of Exeter, Penryn Campus), my main research interests surround the evolution and ecology of microbes and pathogens, with a particular focus on microbial social evolution. My MSc research project investigated the impact of the bacterial communication system (quorum-sensing) on autolysis and biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. My current PhD research focuses on the interactions between phage and their bacterial hosts, within biofilms, and phage-host quorum sensing interactions.
