In the Thomas lab we use genetic,  biochemical, physiological and structural methods to understand how bacteria scavenge nutrients. We primarily study the basic mechanisms and diversity of membrane transport proteins that are important for biotechnological and medical applications. See Our Research for more details.

We are always on the look out for potential PhD and MSc by Research students. Please drop us an Email if you are interested in studying for a high degree in the lab. There is one particular project outlined on FindaPhD.com, but we offer projects relating to any area of our research interests.
