| Research Interests / Areas of Expertise: Dr. Phillips’ research interests focuses on the genetics and molecular biology of membrane protein localization in bacteria, including functional analysis of the signal recognition particle. He is also studying the molecular basis for persistence of food borne bacterial pathogens to antimicrobial agents.
