Group
Antimicrobial Resistance, Omics and Microbiota (AROM)
Unit(s) of assessment: Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy
Research theme: Health and Wellbeing
School: School of Science and Technology
Overview
We incorporate classical microbiology (aerobic, microaerophilic, anaerobic), molecular biology, systems biology and bioinformatics. Members of the group work on mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis, factors influencing development of antimicrobial resistance, development of novel antimicrobials, population genomics and epidemiology, diversity of the human gut microbiota, host–microbiome interactions, predator–prey interactions, evolution of virulence, and plasmid biology and evolution.
