The primary objective is to conduct research, utilizing data and visual analytics in bioinformatics, statistics and artificial intelligence, enabling surveillance within populations to predict, prevent and treat health conditions.
 
My research is currently concentrated on the development and application of analytical techniques for Omics data, which include the evolution, epidemiology, spread and persistence of human diseases and pathogens, with a special focus on antimicrobial resistance. Studies on the spread of bacteria and resistance genes within and between human populations and other sectors within the One Health Framework such as food, animals and environment are conducted, to determine the epidemiology and evolution of antimicrobial resistance, so that novel tools and interventions in translational research could be developed and implemented to address these critical public health problems.
