I am a chemical and biomedical engineer and the Canada Research Chair in Bacteriophage Bioengineering. My research is translational , spans across multiple disciplines and integrates engineering with molecular biology, materials science, and chemistry. I joined the Chemical Engineering Department at McMaster in July 2016. I am also an associate member at the Michael DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research, The Farncombe Institute and the School of Biomedical Engineering. Currently, I focus on two major global health challenges, namely antibiotic-resistant superbugs and viral infections. We use bacteriophages (bacterial viruses), combined with the powerful tools of bio- and nanotechnology, to design engineering solutions that tackle the global challenges in human health and the health of our environment.
