Antonia Sagona is a Reader in Infection Microbiology at the University of Warwick's School of Life Sciences. Her research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of bacterial infections and the role of phage therapy within mammalian cell environments. Over the past decade, her interest in phage therapy has expanded significantly due to the emergent challenges posed by antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens in clinical settings. Her lab aims to explore the efficacy of bacteriophages as therapeutic agents against such pathogens, emphasizing their high specificity and minimal side effects compared to traditional antibiotics. In addition, Sagona's research is directed towards developing novel methodologies for employing bacteriophages in reliable diagnostics. She has established in vitro models to mimic mammalian cell tissues relevant to disease, intending to validate these systems for future in vivo applications. Sagona has also contributed to multiple professional organizations and serves as a reviewer for several scientific journals, leveraging her expertise in microbiology and phage research to advance the field.
