SUMMARY:Bacteriophages in Human Health and Disease
DESCRIPTION:Paul Bollyky\, MD\, PhD\nSponsored by Café Scientifique Silicon Valley\n5:00-6:30pm\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nDescription of the talk\nBacteriophages\, viruses that infect bacteria\, are a frontier in human health. Phages are some of the best studied organisms on earth with critical roles in biotechnology. They are also highly abundant in our bodies\, outnumbering both our own cells and the bacteria that produce them. However\, we are just beginning to understand the roles that phages play in our own biology. Here\, we will explore the fascinating biology of bacteriophages and their interactions with both their human and bacterial hosts. We will highlight recent data from our lab and others implicating bacteriophages in human disease. We will also discuss efforts to use bacteriophages to promote human health. \nAbout the speaker\nPaul Bollyky is an Associate Professor and infectious disease physician at Stanford University. He received his D.Phil at the University of Oxford\, and his MD at Harvard Medical School. He then completed his residency training at Brigham and Women’s Hospital followed by his fellowship training in Infectious Diseases and Immunology at the University of Washington in Seattle. His lab studies trans-kingdom interactions between bacteriophages\, bacteria\, and their human hosts\, and is interested in understanding how these interactions contribute to health and disease and in using bacteriophages to treat chronic infections.
