Current research

• Molecular characterization of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) focusing on plasmids and bacteriophages as well as their dynamics and interactions with their bacterial hosts. 
• Identification and characterization of novel defense- and anti-defense systems between bacteriophages and their bacterial hosts. 
• Occurrence and description of bacteriophages isolated from natural environments focusing on the wheat phyllosphere. 
• The role of bacteriophages as potential biocontrol agents in modulating the structure of microbial communities associated with the wheat phyllosphere.
• Epigenetics of bacterial persisters and bacteriophages. 
• Construction of transposon-based bacterial reporter systems and knock-outs.
