Much like human cells, bacteria are susceptible to fatal viral infections. These bacterial viruses – called bacteriophages or phages – are promising alternatives to antibiotics for tackling the growing problem of drug-resistant bacteria. Our lab’s main goal is to discover these bacterial defense systems, understand their composition and viral triggers, and identify the phage mechanisms that enable them to evade such defenses.
