About me:
Im an animal ecologist that studies the impact of microbes on human and animal health. My main interests are how host-associated microbiomes can protect us from disease and influence our health through diet and nutrition. You can find more detail on my main research projects below.
When I'm not at work, I can mainly be found walking the Cornish coast path with my dog Leo, or paddleboarding.
