Our Mission:
Phage Pathways provides comprehensive, inclusive and high-impact research training to talented undergraduate and graduate students, building a path into microbial ecology and renewable energy careers. Bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria, shape soils, waters and the microbes we rely on for clean energy. Our scholars learn to study them in the field, at the bench and in the genome.
