このコンテンツについて

Hosted by Jonathan Grinstein, PhD, The Leading Strand is a cutting-edge podcast series featuring candid conversations with pioneers of biotechnology. The Leading Strand ventures through this vast landscape of innovation, using the catalog of Mary Ann Liebert peer-reviewed journals (established in 1980) as a guide. Each episode features a biotech topic matching one of the over 100 Mary Ann Liebert journals -- from health and medicine, like Human Gene Therapy, to budding fields, like Astrobiology -- that will be explored with members of the biotech community and the editors in chief of these journals.

    Martha Clokie, PhD, is focused on finding and developing bacteriophages that kill pathogens to make new antimicrobials. As a Professor of Microbiology at the University of Leicester, Dr. Clokie is focused on finding and developing bacteriophages that kill pathogens to make new antimicrobials. She is currently developing an alternative, phage-based treatment for Lyme disease and Clostridium difficile, a bacteria that can infect the bowel and cause diarrhea. Dr. Clokie is also studying how phages affect bacteria in the gut and how phages can be used to treat Salmonella in animals. She is also the editor in chief of the Mary Anne Liebert journal Phage.


    In this episode, Dr. Clokie chews over what makes a phage a good candidate for a therapeutic, how genomics has changed the phage research landscape, and what challenges remain or stand in the way of making phage therapy accessible and routine.
