Bad Bugs; New Drugs
Phage Biologist
My research explores the extraordinary biology of bacteriophages and their potential to transform the fight against antimicrobial resistance. I combine molecular microbiology, biochemistry, genetics, metagenomics, and artificial intelligence to discover and engineer novel single-gene lysis (Sgl) proteins from ssRNA phages as next-generation protein antibiotics. My interests span phage lysis systems, phage engineering, phage therapy, prokaryotic genomics, metagenome mining, and phage evolution. I am passionate about translating fundamental phage biology into innovative therapeutics and remain a strong advocate for the future of Phage Therapy.
