Dr. Barr leads a 14-member research group at Monash University and has published pioneering work in the field of phage biology and phage therapy. He is the most cited phage researcher in the country and is an exemplary leader of his field. His work has already saved the life of one patient, and his recent discoveries are likely to soon save many more.
