Mechanisms of resistance
Multidrug resistance

I obtained my BSc Hons and Master’s degrees with distinction from the University of the Free State in South Africa. As top student in my BSc Hons class I secured an international scholarship to fund my PhD studies at the University of Leeds. After completing my PhD on membrane protein biochemistry at the University of Leeds in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, I moved to Cambridge, where I spend twelve years doing research on multidrug transporters, first as a post-doc and later running my own research group as a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellow in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Cambridge. During this time, I was also appointed as College Lecturer in Robinson College, University of Cambridge, where I did small-group...

Highlights

My research focuses on antimicrobial resistance. ‘Superbugs’ are costing the medical and veterinary industry billions of dollars a year and antimicrobial resistance is one of the world’s most pressing health problems. According to the WHO we are fast approaching a post-antibiotic era where small injuries and minor infections will once again be fatal. Work in my laboratory is aimed at finding novel ways of treating infectious disease by characterising bacterial membrane proteins that are involved in drug resistance and/or virulence and on developing drugs that act on these targets. We are currently working on drug efflux pumps, iron transporters and cell division proteins in pathogenic bacteria. Most of our work... Read more
