I investigate antimicrobial resistance in marine and aquaculture environments, with a particular emphasis on how environmental drivers such as antibiotics, metals, and biocides shape its dissemination. My research employs microbiology and molecular biology approaches to unravel resistance mechanisms in bacterial pathogens, evaluate risks through a One Health lens, and identify sustainable strategies to minimize chemical reliance and curb AMR spread in aquaculture systems.
