Professor Berry's research focuses on the control of parasitic diseases by:

(i) Biological control of vector mosquitoes and insect pests of agriculture using the insecticidal bacteria Lysinibacillus sphaericus (formerly known as Bacillus sphaericus) and Bacillus thuringiensis.
(ii) Targetting parasite aspartic proteinases and other parasite proteins for the production of novel therapeutic agents.

Many fruitful collaborative links with groups in academic and industrial institutions, both in the UK and overseas, have been established. Regular visits and exchanges occur between staff in Cardiff and the collaborating groups.

Facilities Available

We are fortunate in having access to all the facilities necessary to research in protein chemistry, enzymology, molecular and cell biology, either directly within Cardiff University, or via extensive collaborative links.

Dissemination of Results

Research results are published in the scientific press and are presented regularly at both national and international meetings. The participation of all group members in these events is actively encouraged and presentational skills are developed with assistance from the principal investigator.
