Bacteriophages are tiny phage viruses that attack bacteria, and are useful in human medicine. A huge, invisible world of phage viruses are yet to be discovered. We explore our campus in search of these novel phages. We purify, visualize and characterize new phages as part of an ongoing research project.

Join us for a week of authentic scientific research in the field and at the laboratory bench alongside college professors as we explore the fascinating world of phage viruses and microbiology.
