• Key Achievements

  • Romain graduated from a Master’s Degree with Distinction in Cellular and Molecular Biology at the Pierre et Marie Curie University in Paris. In 2013, he completed a PhD with honours on mobile genetic elements of Streptococcus agalactiae under the supervision of Philippe Glaser within the laboratory ‘Biology of Gram-Positive Pathogens of the Institut Pasteur in Paris. His PhD led to the characterisation of new families of mobile genetic elements widespread amongst gram positive bacteria, and to the development of new genetic tools to manipulate streptococci. Romain is co-author of a book chapter and his PhD work has been published in peer reviewed scientific journals and presented in several international and national conferences.

  Research Groups

  • Howden Group

    Ben’s group’s research uses genomics, molecular biology, epidemiology and clinical studies to address a broad range of issues related to invasive bacterial diseases in humans, especially those caused by staphylococci, enterococci and other antimicrobial-resistant species. Additionally, working closely with scientists in the MDU PHL, they investigate the epidemiology, evolution, and spread of bacterial pathogens of public health significance such as Neisseria gonorrhoea, Listeria monocytogenes, Shigella and Salmonella spp., Legionella spp., and carbapenemase-producing gram-negative bacteria.
