Current projects
New generation Clostridium perfringens vaccine development
Creating a better vaccine to protect against Clostridium perfringens infections.

Multivalent vaccines against Clostridium difficile infection
Designing vaccines to fight Clostridium difficile infections.
Development of Tumor-targeting Vector Plasmids of Salmonella
The lab engineers Salmonella bacteria to carry DNA plasmids that display tumor‑targeting peptides and a fluorescent marker. Twelve different plasmids were built and put into Salmonella; future work will test whether they can target specific cancer cells.
