Medical microbiology research ranges from fundamental molecular studies to public health and epidemiology of microbial disease focussing particularly on the gastrointestinal microbiology and public health issues in low income countries.

Key areas of research interest include:

  • Molecular diagnostics of bacterial pathogens
  • Antibiotic resistance
  • Structural biology of key microbial molecules
  • Global environmental health
  • Emerging pathogens
  • Fungal pathogens

Medical microbiology has strong links with the Norwich Research Park, the Institute for Food Research, the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and the Health Protection Agency.
