Megan Tierney Baldridge, MD, PhD, an associate professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases in the Department of Medicine at WashU Medicine, received a $100,000 grant to explore the interactions between the viruses that infect bacteria - known as bacteriophages - and human intestinal epithelial cells. The project's goal is to uncover how phages also influence human cells.
The Global Grants for Gut Health, supported by Yakult and Nature Portfolio, is a competitive program for investigator-initiated research into the human gut microbiota.
