The lab\u2019s research strategy involves utilizing bacterial genomes from real-world clinical isolates to identify mutations underlying evolving traits, such as antibiotic resistance, transmission, and virulence, followed by employing cutting-edge experimental microbiology methods to dissect the altered bacterial functions responsible for these evolved traits. The ultimate goal is to uncover bacterial processes that can be targeted for the development of new vaccines, therapeutics, and public health intervention
