Cedric is a Senior Lecturer in the Biosciences and his research focuses on several host-bacterial pathogen systems combining a wide range of techniques and approaches from in-vitro cell assays to in vivo models. For almost 20 years, he has been interested in bacterial infection and methods to prevent them. Cedric’s PhD project at the University of Paris Sud at the faculty of Pharmacy in France focused on the interaction between Diffusely adherent Escherichia coli and the human epithelial cells. In 2006, he then moved to Imperial College London and developed his expertise on biomedical microbiology focusing on the human pathogens Enteropathogenic and Enterohemorrhagic E. coli and the mouse-restricted pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. In September 2018, he joined Cardiff to carry on his work on pathogenic bacteria. His research is now focused on studying the interaction between enteric pathogens and their hosts with a specific emphasis on Enterohemorrhagic (EHEC), Enteropathogenic (EPEC) Diffusely adherent Escherichia coli (DAEC) and Edwardsiella spp. and covers the biology, immunology and the prevention of enteric diseases.
