Phage therapy promises the next generation of targeted antimicrobials to answer the threat of antimicrobial resistance. Phages are predators of bacteria which can be isolated from the environment and combined with antibiotics to re-sensitise resistant bacteria. The student will use high throughput liquid handling and citizen science to isolate phages targeting pathogens associated with respiratory disease and develop a Citizen Phage Library for novel therapeutics.

噬菌体疗法有望开发出下一代靶向抗菌药物来应对抗菌药物耐药性的威胁。噬菌体是细菌的捕食者，可以从环境中分离出来，并与抗生素结合，使耐药细菌重新变得敏感。学生将使用高通量液体处理和公民科学来分离针对与呼吸道疾病相关的病原体的噬菌体，并开发用于新型疗法的公民噬菌体库。
