Prof. Yuping Li
Lecture in English

Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest challenges in modern medicine. Many have heard of phage therapy, but what are phages, and why are researchers so excited about them? Discover how these viruses infect bacteria and overcome bacterial defenses, and how basic phage biology could open new avenues for treating life-threatening infections that no longer respond to antibiotics.

Followed by an Apéro .
