This award supports research to identify and understand gene regulation mechanisms in bacterial immune systems, with the goal of improving bacteriophage therapies for multidrug-resistant bacteria.
Description
The research aims to comprehensively identify and define transcriptional regulators controlling bacterial immune systems in response to phage infection and environmental stresses including DNA damage. This work will enhance understanding of bacterial responses to phage infections and aid in developing effective bacteriophage therapies against multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens.
