I work as the Research Director for Vésale Bioscience where I contribute my ten years’ experience in the phage therapy field as well as my expertise in the biology of phages on a microbiological, molecular, structural, multi‘-omics’, and regulatory level. We work on progressing the personalized model of phage therapy, developing and manufacturing phages as APIs for magistral preparations according to the European model of phage therapy.
I spend a lot of time thinking about what I'm going to eat next, why cows tend to orient themselves on a north/south axis, whether viruses are alive or non-living (or undead!), what it could have really been like to have lived under the laws of Solon, structure/function arguments in biology, and the value that I like to pretend the Oxford comma has for ameliorating run-on sentences.
