Research interests
After commencing specialty training in Respiratory Medicine, Phil developed a clinical interest in Cystic Fibrosis and Bronchiectasis. This expanded to a research interest as he undertook a PhD using molecular microbiological techniques to investigate bacteria in the lungs of these patients. This included investigating for cross-infection by a notorious bacteria via sequencing techniques and assessing microbial communities in the context of clinical disease. Phil continues to research these conditions with a focus on infection. In 2020 this will include a focus on antimicrobial resistance as Phil will be part of the GW4 Crucible Cohort (Interdisciplinary Approaches to Tackling AMR) and has a grant to investigate the resistome in respiratory patients.
