David Low, a professor in UCSB’s Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, will immerse himself in an innovative global health and development research project titled “Strategy for development of enteric pathogen-specific phage”. His research will directly focus on a new way to deal with serious bacterial pathogens as they become resistant to many once-powerful antibiotics. According to active UCSB Foundation member Kenny Slaught, “He will engineer phage to selectively target and destroy several pathogenic bacteria to prevent enteric diseases in infants”.
