NewsResearcher awarded $1.9m to develop model to test phages in the gut
Bryan Hsu, an assistant professor of biological sciences at Virginia Tech, has received a five-year $1.9 million award to develop a model to test the role of lytic bacteriophages, or phages as they are commonly called, in the mammalian gut.
