High School Student Researcher
Devon Preparatory School
Ian Fabris, a high school researcher from Devon Preparatory School located in Devon, PA., presents his study on bacteriophages' potential against Pectobacterium atrosepticum, a widespread agricultural pathogen. His research, although initially focused on plant pathogens, also reveals implications in human pathogen treatment and uncovers evidence to suggest that prior limitations of phage-based treatments may in fact be less constraining than previously believed.
