Bacteriophages in the ageing gut as targeted therapeutics
Lead Research Organisation:
University of East Anglia
Department Name: Biological Sciences
Abstract
Bacteriophages are the most abundant biological entity on the planet, but their role in the human microbiome is poorly understood. In this project, the student will use a combination of viromics and culturing to investigate the bacteriophages in the gut of an elderly patient cohort. The student will use our state-of-the-art model systems mimicking the human gut to develop interventional strategies to treat dysbiosis.
