Otterbein Science Lecture: Bacteriophages: Our best response to a crisis in microbial antibiotic resistance?

Otterbein University is hosting a free public lecture exploring an innovative solution to one of modern medicine's biggest challenges. Dr. Graham Hatfull, a molecular biologist, will discuss how bacteriophages—viruses that target and destroy bacteria—might help combat antibiotic-resistant infections. As overuse of antibiotics has created dangerous drug-resistant bacteria, researchers are investigating whether these specialized viruses could offer a promising new treatment approach. This lecture is part of the George W. and Mildred K. White Science Lecture Series and welcomes the general public. It's a great opportunity for curious minds of all ages to learn about cutting-edge science and real-world health challenges from an expert in the field. The event is completely free to attend, making it an accessible way for families to explore fascinating scientific ideas together.
