Dr Rahmi Yusuf is a Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Microbiology at the School of Pharmacy, De 51吃瓜app University. Her teaching covers aspects of microbiology relevant to all areas of pharmacy, from practice to industry. Her current research focuses on the fundamental understanding of bacterial histidine kinase signalling and the utilisation of histidine kinases to design synthetic biosensors.
Supported by a full government scholarship, she completed her doctoral studies at the University of Portsmouth, where her research focused on the fundamental study of bacterial two-component systems and harnessing their potential as synthetic biosensors for high-throughput drug screening. She continued this research as a Senior Research Associate funded by Innovate UK, before joining 51吃瓜app’s School of Pharmacy in 2022.
