I am also co-supervising projects on antibiotic accumulation in bacteria with @JessicaMABlair (, virulence and AMR in Staphylococcus with @StaphLab ( and using sound to combat biofilms with Paula Mendes (.

A project in my lab with @JessicaMABlair seeks to understand how efflux pumps can be used to improve organic solvent tolerance in industrial processes, and how this can be balanced against energy demands.

PhD projects now open in Birmingham as part of @MIBTP_BBSRC - funded and open to home and overseas students! Are you interested in bioprocesses, antimicrobial resistance, virulence, or biofilms?.

New paper! What happens when you apply vibration to bacteria? We asked this question for E. coli and revealed that attachment decreases. This response requires live cells and involves membrane potential.

This adds to the growing story of the links between energy metabolism, physiology, and bacteria evading antibiotics and generally being troublesome.

New paper! Deactivating efflux pumps results in major changes to bacterial physiology. We demonstrate that knockout of the major efflux pump AcrB results in changes to membrane potential.
