Princeton Bioethics Exchange
Princeton biophysicist Robert Austin's recent work has examined how bacteria can be driven to evolve defenses against viruses that infect them. But what if we flip that approach and engineer viruses that overcome bacterial defenses? Prof. Austin will lead a conversation about what these experiments could teach us and whether they should be pursued.
Led and co-moderated by Penelope Georges of the Center on Science and Technology.
Interested postdocs and grad students should contact Ryan MacElroy (rm5962@princeton.edu) for more details. Lunch will be provided. 12:00-1:30 PM
