Mar 6, 2013 - “Phage Hunters,” taught by Marie Pizzorno, biology department chair and associate professor of biology, and Emily Stowe-Evans, associate professor of biology, offers sophomores the unique opportunity to identify the genetic codes of bacteria-eating viruses through hands-on research in a classroom environment. It likewise holds much promise for the discovery of future practical medical, biological, and ecological applications. An especially groundbreaking article by [V.A.] Fischetti describes the use of specific phage lysozymes in the control of infections by bacteria such as Bacillus anthracis and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Jun 24, 2013 - “This discovery not only proposes a new immune system but also demonstrates the first symbiotic relationship between phage and animals,” says Jeremy Barr, lead author of “Bacteriophage adhering to mucus provide a non-host-derived immunity” published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Oct 10, 2013 - Gill will conduct research on the biology and application of bacteriophages, a group of viruses that preys exclusively on bacteria. Jan 27, 2011 - Faculty say the course has changed how they think science should be taught. Through this class, students learn more about . €I've learned that students will rise to the challenge that you put in front of them,” says Bryan Gibbon, a biology professor at Baylor University who taught the SEA course for the first time last fall. €It will have a role for certain viruses. €We are pleased to welcome Dr.
