Research Group for Genomic Epidemiology and Medical Mycology

About

Our world is more interconnected than ever before. It stands to reason, then, that our health is connected to our food, the changing climate and our environment (animals, the places we go). In the Rhodes Lab we use a One Health approach to balance and optimise the health of humans, animals and the environment.

Within the Rhodes Lab we focus on:

Developing laboratory methods, computational pipelines and surveillance tools for emerging fungal pathogens.
Genomic epidemiology of fungal outbreaks and population genomics of emerging fungal pathogen species.
The impact of climate change as drivers of evolution of drug resistance and genetic diversity, using the human fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus as a model organism.

About Me

I’m a researcher at Radboudumc, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. I completed my PhD in Computational Biology at The University of Warwick, but have a background in epidemiology of human diseases. My research focuses on leveraging information from whole genomes to perform population genomic analyses on emerging fungal pathogens, and I’m particularly interested in the origin, evolution and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
