Our group is interested in the factors that shape the transmission of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in bacteria. In particular, we focus on conjugative plasmids, MGEs which play a key role in the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes.

We use molecular biology, bacterial genetics and experimental evolution approaches to understand the mechanistic and evolutionary drivers of MGE transmission and AMR spread in bacteria.
