My research interest lies in the interactions between bacteria and their plant hosts. The research is primarily focused on food-borne bacteria, but also covers opportunistic plant pathogens because of the many similarities in the types of interactions; transmission of the bacteria through the wider environment and the plant host response.
Our research group focuses on identifying, mobilising, and cloning durable resistances against major potato pathogens. By applying genomics and genetics
