All things bacteria, phage and other viruses. Biology to biotechnology.
I actually enjoy teaching too!
Hobbies? what are those?

Congrats to Kevin Minyoung Kim and Jessica Sacher, PhD on their review of phage therapy production and drug development. It was great working with Dr. Sabrina Green, PhD, Jean-Paul Pirnay, Rob Lavigne, Gina Suh and the rest of the team on this project jci.org/articles/view/…


Personalized or one-size-fits-all: the phage therapy field's favorite binary. Or is it a spectrum? Excited to share our new Journal of Clinical Investigation review, a team effort spanning Stanford University, Mayo Clinic, KU Leuven & QAMH, driven forward by the incredible Kevin Minyoung Kim! 🧵 /1
