FUNDED RESEARCH
Dr Amy Bottomley has extensive research experience in the field of molecular microbiology, specifically focusing on bacterial cell division. During her PhD she was the first to identify the interaction network of cell division proteins in S. aureus (Molecular Microbiology 2011), and she further characterised a function for the division protein DivIB, showing its involvement in cell wall binding (Molecular Microbiology, 2014).
Her own research at UTS focused on understanding the regulation of bacterial cell division in response to a variety of environmental cues.
During her research, Dr Bottomley developed skills in molecular cell biology of bacteria, fluorescence microscopy, protein purification and protein chemistry.
Dr Bottomley now applies her microscopy expertise to facilitate research outputs. My main roles are to provide facility users with one-on-one or group training, and ongoing support across all advanced optical imaging platforms, covering sample preparation, experimental design and image acquisition, image analysis and data management methods.
