In this Watson Lecture, Bil Clemons, the Arthur and Marian Hanisch Memorial Professor of Biochemistry, will explain how he and his research team are deepening their understanding of the methods some phages have evolved to kill bacteria. To prevent a return to the era before penicillin, new strategies for eradicating pathogenic bacteria must be developed, and Clemons believes phages could hold the key. He will also outline how this work can be leveraged for new therapies and new biological tools.
