Project Details
Description
The rise of drug-resistant superbugs is a global problem with a bleak outlook. A projected increase to 10 million human deaths per year here and around the world can only be addressed with new, sustainable solutions. My vision applies computational and structural biology as well as biochemistry and microbiology to evaluate and optimize the properties of viruses called "phages" to either resolve infections directly or re-sensitize bacteria in infection sites to existing drugs in clinical use.
