FRANKLIN NOBREGA

Principal Investigator

I am an Associate Professor in Microbiology at the School of Biological Sciences, University of Southampton. My team's research focuses on the arms-race between bacteria and their viruses, the bacteriophages, from a biological, ecological, and therapeutic perspective. We seek to understand the impact of bacteriophages in shaping natural microbial communities, particularly their role in the evolution of defence and anti-defence mechanisms, and their capacity to modulate bacterial metabolism, especially in complex microbial communitites. We also work to develop innovative phage therapy approaches to fight antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.
