Saar Sabine F Van Overfelt is a PhD student in the PHAGEBio group at the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, University of Copenhagen. Her research focuses on the discovery of bacteriophage proteins that hijack and inhibit the growth of ESBL E. coli, with the aim of discovering interaction sites for novel antimicrobials. She has experience as a lecturer at HOGENT and as a researcher, where she has contributed to exploring critical aspects of host-phage interactions, particularly in the context of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Her academic journey includes a Master of Bioscience Engineering in Cellular Genetic Engineering from KU Leuven, where she conducted her thesis on identifying the determinants that define host-phage interactions. In recent years, she has collaborated on various top research areas and has been actively involved in elaborating new antibacterial targets through phage-guided discovery.
