Biography

The research group at Delft University of Technology is built around the theme of microbe–bacteriophage interactions, tackling important questions related to how bacteria become resistant to phage infection and how bacteriophages escape bacterial defense systems. This theme is highly relevant for the potential clinical use of bacteriophages to treat infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The group founded a national open-source bacteriophage biobank, serving as a valuable resource for phage therapy research. The work combines microbiology, biochemistry, virology, biophysics, and bioinformatics.
