I study how bacteria grow and divide, combining genetic, imaging, and biochemical methods to uncover their fundamental mechanisms. My work often spans chemistry and physics, bringing new perspectives to microbiology. I also enjoy working with young researchers and helping them develop the skills and curiosity needed for scientific discovery.

We investigate the fundamental processes of bacterial cell growth and division, which are essential for bacterial life cycles. Utilizing both classical and advanced methodologies in genetics, imaging, and biochemical reconstitution, we examine how bacteria construct and remodel their cellular structures. By integrating multidisciplinary approaches, our objective is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that drive these processes. Our research not only enhances our understanding of bacterial physiology but also paves the way for innovative strategies to combat bacterial infections, linking fundamental science to medical advancements.
