- Director of Microbiology, University of California, San Diego
Our laboratory used to focus on the role that viruses, particularly bacteriophages, played in the human microbiome. We were among the first to identify that many of the viruses in the human microbiome were bacteriophages, and now we are dedicated to understanding how we might utilize bacteriophages to promote human health. We have partnered with the Center for Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics (IPATH) at UCSD to further our understanding of phages and phage therapy in humans.
