My core research focuses on the study of “bad” microbes (e.g. Salmonella, Vibrios) and how they make people
sick, while suggesting better detection and management options. For example, I am focusing on food safety by
studying foodborne pathogens such as Vibrionaceae diversity, multidrug resistant and its management.
Also, I discover novel “good” microbes (e.g. Actinobacteria) for drug discovery purpose. I am interested in the
identification of novel bacteria from various sources using polyphasic approach. Through the discovery of new
taxa, I hope to expand the diversity of resources available for drug discovery purpose, such as anticancer,
neuroprotection, antioxidant and antimicrobial screening programs.
Recently I am also interested in how microbiome affect human health. Such as the investigation into
roles of microbiome in cancer, mental health and autoimmune diseases.
