Research interests: Having worked on bacterial cell membranes for the best part of a decade, they only seem to get more dynamic with further study. In particular, I'm interested in how the membrane adapts to threats like bacteriophage and antibiotics, and how better understanding this can open up creative opportunities for novel antimicrobials.
Background: Dominik studied biomedical science at London Metropolitan University before pursuing a PhD at the University of Hertfordshire, working on bacterial membrane vesicles and their role in bacteriophage infection and biofilm formation. He then worked at Aston University's Institute for Membrane Excellence (AIME) as a postdoc, engineering E. coli strains to express different lipid membrane profiles for the purposes of optimising recombinant protein synthesis. In 2025, he joined the Webby lab at Warwick, where he now focuses on visualising E. coli envelope architecture using DNA origami based probes and high resolution cryo-TEM.
Hobbies: kickboxing, poetry, playing guitar, travelling.
