His research explores how Brucella species manipulate host cells, utilizing pathways like erythritol metabolism and mitophagy to evade immune responses. He investigates the implications of bacterial metabolic strategies for vaccine development and zoonotic disease control.
Recent publications highlight his work on the One Health approach to brucellosis, the role of mitophagy in bacterial egress, and taxonomic distinctions between Brucella and Ochrobactrum. His 2024 article on erythritol metabolism provides critical insights into Brucella's nutrient utilization.
While scientific awards are not explicitly detailed, his extensive collaboration network spans Belgium, Africa, and Latin America, addressing global brucellosis challenges. He supervises projects involving international teams and has contributed to 139 research outputs, including 183 publications.
