Sara Henderson

Dr. Sara Henderson is a researcher at the University of Bradford focusing on the skin microbiome's role in immune response and disease. Her work explores how microbial communities interact with host physiology in conditions like eczema and contact dermatitis, with particular emphasis on Staphylococcus aureus dynamics.

Research highlights include:

• Investigating skin microbiome dysbiosis during inflammatory episodes
• Studying phenotypic changes in pathogens during disease flares
• Developing molecular insights into host-microbial interactions

Key publication trends (2017-2025) indicate expertise in:

• Antibiotic resistance mechanisms
• Bacterial enzyme inhibition (DNA gyrase, topoisomerases)
• Structural biology of pathogenic proteins
• Chemotherapy-drug interactions
