ABOUT ME
I have always been passionate about the ocean, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work in an area close to my heart. My interdisciplinary project at Abertay University has provided key knowledge in our understanding of the impact of the environment on the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes. I am excited about the impact this research will have to possibly inform policy.
