Our Team

Dr Camilla Godlee

My research combines my expertise in cellular membrane dynamics and host:pathogen interactions. I study how bacterial pathogens interact with and manipulate eukaryotic membranes to enable their own growth and pathogenicity. My group aims to study how different bacterial pathogens have adapted to interact with host cell membrane compartments.

Kyra Roepke

I am a Research Assistant and MPhil student in the Godlee Group. Before coming to Cambridge, I studied at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, US, earning an honors double major in biochemistry and linguistics. I am now investigating the eukaryotic interaction partners needed for Salmonella effector proteins to correctly integrate into host cell membranes.

Lerato Nare

I am an MPhil student in Biological Sciences, specializing in the Infection Biology and Molecular Immunology pathway within the Godlee Lab. I completed my BSc Honours in Applied Biology and Biochemistry in Zimbabwe. My current research focuses on investigating the interaction between the Golgi apparatus and intracellular Salmonella, exploring how this relationship supports Salmonella survival within infected cells.

Adam Agbamu

I am a first-year PhD student. I obtained my BA and MSci in Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, specialising in Biochemistry. My PhD will study the mechanism by which a diverse suite of transmembrane bacterial effectors integrate into the membranes of infected eukaryotic cells, and whether certain host factors are required for these processes.

Isabella Sheldon

I am a PhD student on the BBSRC DTP. I completed my BSc in Applied Medical Sciences at University College London, followed by an MSc in Immunology of Infectious Diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. In the Godlee lab, my research focuses on identifying bacterial effectors involved in Pseudomonas aeruginosa intracellular infection and the host factors they interact with.
