Molecular microbiologist working at the Department of Biosciences, Nottingham Trent University. Research interests include molecular pathogenesis and bacterial adhesion mediated by autotransporter proteins of Gram-negative bacteria. Opinions are my own.
🎉 New preprint. First piece of work from us looking at how Klebsiella spp. use gut microbiome-associated metabolites present in urine. Very much v1 but we wanted it out for feedback, and to support lead author @devarsh1917.bsky.social as he applies for PhDs. #microSky

The Omp85 family protein, TamA, exhibits characteristics of a suitable drug target against Pseudomonas aeruginosa
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria is crucial for cell stability and virulence and acts as a permeability barrier. The biogenesis, assembly and regulation of proteins in the OM are, the...

Very happy to see this paper finally published! Congrats to Priya and our German collaborators - it took a while, but here it is! portlandpress.com/bioscirep/ar...
Mutations affecting the β-sheet at the extracellular opening of the intimin β-barrel domain lead to reduced protein levels and inefficient passenger secretion
Abstract. Attaching and effacing pathogens, such as enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli, rely on an adhesin, intimin, for attachment to enterocytes and downstream effects leading ...

I’m thrilled to have been awarded the Addgene Blue Flame award for sharing the Omp-deficient strains that we developed a few years ago in Oslo. Thanks @addgene.bsky.social!
I’m thrilled to see our latest paper on chain formation mediated by trimeric autotransporters published. This was a collaboration with @schauflerlab.org; most of the data was produced by Lena Swiatek during a 3-month scientific visit at NTU - way to go Lena! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
