Research interest: I am a graduate student investigating the intricate molecular mechanisms driving quorum sensing (QS), a sophisticated bacterial communication network that orchestrates collective behaviors. My research aims to understand the interplay between QS molecules, to identify key players in QS across different bacterial species, and to uncover how phages manipulate QS pathways to enhance their survival and propagation. By decoding these complex interactions, I strive to contribute to a deeper understanding of microbial dynamics and their broader implications for innovative therapeutic strategies.
