BIOFILM DEVELOPMENT AND MICROBIAL INTERACTIONS

Using fundamental research outputs to develop anti-biofilm interventions

Our lab is based at the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE) which is located at Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

Our research focuses on understanding how biofilms develop and how members of these communities interact with one another in a range of settings, including those relevant to the food chain and infections. We use a systems biology approach to obtain a detailed molecular mechanistic understanding of these processes. Our aim is to then use this information to develop interventions that modulate the composition of biofilms to have the most beneficial outcome for the local environment or host.
