We’ve Landed at Warwick! 01 July 2025
The lab has officially moved to the University of Warwick! We’re busy unpacking (literally and scientifically 🧪), setting up new experiments, and diving into fresh collaborations. Big things ahead in our work on cell envelope machines... how do they all coordinate function?

The cat's out of the bag—we're officially heading to the School of Life Sciences at the University of Warwick in July 2025! 🚀
This incredible career milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the guidance of my mentors, the support of my colleagues, and the generous backing of the Wellcome Trust. Excited for this next chapter and the opportunity to drive forward research into antimicrobial resistance (AMR)!
🚀 Exciting Publication Alert! 🚀 05 December 2025
We were honoured to be invited by npj Antimicrobials and Resistance to contribute a review article! Teaming up with the brilliant Jo Szczepaniak, we took a deep dive into the expanded roles of the Tol-Pal system in the bacterial cell envelope—going beyond its well-known function in envelope stabilisation.
