BOUCHER Yann Felix

Associate Professor (Research) Email ephyb@nus.edu.sg Web Boucher Lab BOUCHER Yann Felix I am interested in the life cycle of enteric bacterial pathogens, from their residence in the human microbiome to their dispersal and survival outside the body. I investigate the evolution of new pathogenic variants during this cycle, such as the acquisition of antimicrobial resistance and novel virulence factors. Although disease mechanisms of several enteric pathogens have been well studied, their ecology is much less understood, especially their interactions with other microbes in the environment. I believe the key to
