Sidrah Asghar

Looking for Co-Principal Investigator

I’ve been doing research in Phage therapy for a couple of years now. For my Ph.D. study I am working on Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. My research will be focused on development of phage-based therapy for wound infections. Later, this topical phage therapy will be evaluated for its potential therapeutic effectiveness in vivo. Previously I have worked on Klebsiella pneumoniae phages (A¥L and A¥M), and after phenotypic and genotypic characterization, evaluated the in vivo phage therapeutic efficacy in a bacteremia model alone and in a cocktail formulation. If you are able and willing to serve as a co-PI, I would be more than happy to provide you with additional information about the project, as well as answer any questions you may have.
