      I work with antibiotic resistant bacteria, these are different to antibodies. I was inspired to work with this kind of bacteria after finding out the antibiotic resistance crisis, there will be more deaths caused by this than cancer in 2050. So, we need new treatments to help stop sick people from dying which is where I was inspired to research phage therapy!
