Novel insights into fibre and lipid substrates on the microbiome
… in relation to human health; how they impact colonisation resistance against pathogens, influence bacterial taxa associated with metabolic disease and how they affect an overlooked proportion of the microbiota, the human gut virome. An extensive literature review was undertaken in Chapter 1 to …

Characterisation of bacteriophage dynamics associated with foodborne pathogens
… in high abundance in the gut. As antimicrobial resistance rises and interest in microbiome-targeted therapies grows, phages have emerged as potential tools for precisely modulating microbial communities and treating infections. However, much remains unknown about how phages behave in the gut …

Mathematical Modelling of Emergent Survival in Microbial Communities
… community interactions drive resilience, disease resistance, and functional diversity. Using a combination of mathematical modelling and experimental validation, I explore how factors such as nutrient dependencies, cross-feeding, and drug interactions drive community-level outcomes. The modelling …
