Bio

I am interested in understanding the symbiosis between leaf beetles and their associated microbes.

Recently, I have mainly focused on using microscopy techniques to understand the localisation of microbes within the host tissue throughout host development, as well as the contribution of host proteins to maintaining the symbiosis.
