(1/7) Traditional antimicrobial approaches directly kill bacteria to treat infections. What if we could instead mobilize the body’s own defenses to defeat them? www.cell.com/cell-biomate...

Honored to pen this tribute to my mentor Bob Hancock. He taught me to write science (when my English was shaky at best) and, more importantly, to think like a scientist. Thank you, Bob! Read it here: @pubs.acs.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
