		Dr John Boyce has extensive experience in the identification and characterisation of virulence factors of bacterial pathogens, especially Pasteurella multocida. His work has focused on using whole-genome approaches such as DNA microarrays, signature-tagged mutagenesis, in vivo expression technology and proteomics to identify factors critical for the bacteria during the infectious process. This work has identified capsule and LPS as critical P. multocida virulence factors. Dr Boyce also has extensive experience in targeted mutagenesis procedures in P multocida. He is project manager for the Centre vaccine pipeline projects.
