My work focuses on physiological functions of polyphosphate in Salmonellae. This ancient fossil molecule is produced by polyphosphate kinase and has been found to play roles in many cellular processes, such as stress response, protein and RNA degradations, and motility in pathogenic bacteria. I am interested in diciphering some of these aspects in details.

I am interested in the molecular mechanisms of assembly and secretion of virulence factors in Staphylococci, especially, how virulence genes are regulated and virulence factors are transported during biofilm development and formation.

Lateral gene transfer leads to dynamic genomes, in which substantial amounts of DNA are introduced into and deleted from the chromosome. Lateral transfers of gene clusters and pathogenicity islands dramatically change the ecological and pathogenic character of bacterial species, and the process is most likely triggered by both intracellular status and environmental cues. How bacteria transfer the pathogenicity islands during biofilm formation and at what rate? How this process is affected by quorum sensing? I hope that my research will answer some of these questions.
