Wanqi Huang
Wanqi investigates the potential of phages as antibacterial agents against multi-drug-resistant bacteria. To achieve this, she employs both culture-dependent and independent methods.
Xue Peng
Xue Peng's research focuses on investigating the interactions between phages and bacteria in the human body using computational tools. She is particularly interested in developing new computational tools for virome studies.
Adrian Thaqi
Adrian's research focuses on exploring the functional role of prophages in bacteria. Utilizing various molecular biological techniques, he investigates both the impact of prophages as a whole and the function of so far uncharacterized hypothetical proteins within these prophage regions.
Sónia Campos
Sónia's research focuses on synthetically engineering phages for well-defined phage cocktail assembly, applying single-cell analysis for phage gene function, and establishing a correlation between the viral community and asthma etiology.
Julia Ammann
Julia's research focuses on developing targeted approaches for manipulating the human microbiome. For this, she uses culture independent methods such as viral tagging, simplified microbial consortiums and bioreactors.
Joshua Hadi
Josh's research is aimed at developing novel phage-based therapeutics against intra- and extraintestinal pathogens.
Abdullah Sayed
Sayed Abdullah’s research focuses on developing novel phage-based therapeutics against multi-drug-resistant pathogens using methods provided by synthetic biology, including genome and protein engineering.
Cunli Pan
Cunli´s projects focus on deciphering the role of bacteriophages in natural carbon circulation, developing viral-tagging-based phage isolation and identification techniques for anaerobic bacteria, and exploring the possible implications of phage therapy in the poultry industry. She aims to investigate the efficacy of phage therapy in infectious disease prevention and its impact on the animal gut microbiome and health.
