Phages, antimicrobial viruses that specifically target and infect bacteria, present an alternative treatment to antibiotics in healthcare. These amazing, potentially 'good' viruses, deserve to be better known. Dr. Hosseinidoust is working on innovative technologies that harness phages in her role holding the Canada Research Chair in Bacteriophage Biogengineering and as associate professor at McMaster's Dept. of Chemical Engineering, School of Biomedical Engineering.
