University of Nottingham, United Kingdom
Emeritus Professor of Molecular Microbiology, School of Life Sciences, University of Nottingham, UK. He has many years of expertise in the study of molecular mechanisms of quorum sensing-based control of gene expression in bacteria, how it influences the behaviour of polymicrobial biofilms and their interaction with the host. He has also been working on the identification of novel antimicrobial targets and coordinated several international antimicrobial programmes with a strong focus on quorum sensing inhibition.
