Jacob Biboy

Dr. Jacob Biboy is a researcher at Newcastle University, specializing in bacterial cell biology with a focus on peptidoglycan synthesis, modification, and its role in cell shape determination and pathogenesis. His work spans diverse bacterial species including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Campylobacter jejuni, and Caulobacter crescentus.

• Research Interests:
  • Peptidoglycan structure and dynamics
  • Bacterial cell wall homeostasis
  • Host-pathogen interactions
  • Mechanisms of cell curvature and division
  • Antimicrobial resistance pathways

Recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding how peptidoglycan modifications drive bacterial morphology, stress responses, and interactions with host immune systems. Collaborations with Professor Waldemar Vollmer and other international researchers underscore his interdisciplinary approach.
