Optimisation of diffuse Raman spectroscopy for in-vivo quantification of foreign body response in small animal model (2023)
Journal Article

Diffuse Raman spectroscopy (DRS) allows subsurface molecular analysis of optically turbid samples. Numerical modelling of light propagation was used as a method for improving the design of an DRS instrument to maximize the signal to noise ratio (SNR)...

Conformational analysis and interaction of the Staphylococcus aureus transmembrane peptidase AgrB with its AgrD propeptide substrate (2023)
Journal Article

Virulence gene expression in the human pathogen, S. aureus is regulated by the agr (accessory gene regulator) quorum sensing (QS) system which is conserved in diverse Gram-positive bacteria. The agr QS signal molecule is an autoinducing peptide (AIP)...

Discovery of a polymer resistant to bacterial biofilm, swarming, and encrustation (2023)
Journal Article

Innovative approaches to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are urgently required. Here, we describe the discovery of an acrylate copolymer capable of resisting single- and multispecies bacterial biofilm formation, swarming...
