Current Research

My research focuses on the potential of food-grade lactic acid bacteria for use as probiotics in improving gastrointestinal health and the application of postbiotics, such as bacteriocins, as putative antimicrobial peptides in reversing antibiotic resistance of multi-drug resistant pathogens. In addition, I am currently working with Future Food Beacon UK to improve the nutritional quality of underutilised legumes using fermentation technology. The current strategy will reduce the anti-nutrients present in the legume and enhance nutrient bioavailability.
