NIH funded project to develop bacteriophage treatment to reduce harmful gut bacteria and hydrogen sulfide, led by Dr. Justin Boeckman.
Description
The project aims to develop a bacteriophage cocktail targeting Desulfovibrio spp. to reduce hydrogen sulfide in the gut, potentially alleviating malodorous flatulence. The project is funded by the NIH under PAR-24-131 and led by Dr. Justin Boeckman with mentorship from Dr. Jason Gill and Dr. Neema Mayhugh.
