Research Interests My work focusses on Microbial genomics of biofilms and extreme environments. I studying biofilm formation of different environments, for health and industry. Metagenomics of some environments from timeline based studies shed light on the microbial dynamics of some niches. My work extends to some research specific experimentation in terms of genomics and proteomics advanced experiments design. Finally, I like to understand the big microbial picture computationally and to be able to visualize and find trends and patterns in the complex image. Secretion system of bacterial
