Welcome

Laboratory of Molecular Phage Biology of ETH Zurich

Our main research interest is the fascinating biology of bacteriophages, the viruses infecting bacteria, and their application in clinics and biotechnology. While others study the depths of the oceans or the stars of distant galaxies, we uncover the mysteries that are hidden in the molecular strategies used by these viruses to overpower bacterial pathogens. We then apply this knowledge to improve antimicrobial therapies for patients or to build new biotechnological tools for life science research.
