Dr. Tom Mendum is a Researcher at the School of Biosciences, University of Surrey. His work focuses on bacterial pathogenesis, particularly Mycobacterium species including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis. He specializes in understanding metabolic pathways, host-pathogen interactions, and vaccine development strategies. His research integrates genomic, metabolic, and immunological approaches to address challenges in infectious disease control.
Key research areas include:
- Metabolic flexibility of pathogens within host cells
- Genetic determinants of BCG vaccine efficacy
- Environmental survival mechanisms of mycobacteria
- Historical epidemiology of leprosy via ancient pathogen genomics
Publications highlight contributions to TB drug discovery, virulence factor identification, and systems biology modeling of pathogen metabolism. His work bridges fundamental research with translational applications in diagnostics and vaccination strategies.
