Sundeep joined Alice Holt in 2019 to work on the BRIGIT project (a consortium established to enhance UK surveillance and response to Xylella fastidiosa) as a molecular biologist. She aims to improve the sensitivity and efficiency of molecular diagnostic methods currently used to detect the newly emerging plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa.
Sundeep has research experience in the cell growth and division of bacteria, particularly Streptomyces, and obtained a PhD in Molecular Microbiology from the University of East Anglia.
