About
Dr. John W. A. Rossen has a 25 year history in molecular microbiology. He is PI in the research group Genomics for Infection Prevention of Prof. dr. Alexander Friedrich and head of the (non-viral) molecular unit which has recently implemented the use of next generation sequencing for routine clinical microbiology and infection prevention. The method is used to determine the genetic relationship between pathogens (used to guide infection prevention measures) and for the molecular detection and further characterisation of (emerging) pathogens. This includes analyses for revealing (new) antibiotic resistance mechanisms and for determining the virulence of pathogens resulting in improved r
