Media interests

Media and public engagement interests include DNA replication, genome stability, replication stress, CRISPR biology, antimicrobial mechanisms and bacterial chromosome dynamics. Current research particularly focuses on how replication stress disrupts chromosome maintenance and how cells respond to stalled or damaged replication forks.

Additional interests include science communication, public engagement with molecular and genome biology, academic blogging and the development of accessible plain-language explanations of scientific research. Through the RudolphLAB website, research blog and GrowKudos profile, current research is communicated to both specialist and non-specialist audiences

Research from the Rudolph Laboratory has received international media coverage in outlets including BBC Science Focus, ScienceAlert and Phys.org, helping to communicate advances in genome biology and antimicrobial research to wider scientific and public audiences. Selected examples include:

Alongside traditional research dissemination, particular emphasis is placed on knowledge exchange through accessible online resources, plain-language research summaries and regular engagement with broader scientific and public audiences.
