A Talk on ‘A mathematical and computation perspective of phage-bacteria interactions’ by Professor Soumen Roy

About the Talk
New strategies are urgently needed to tackle the menace of antibiotic resistance. Employing systems biology approaches involving rigorous mathematics, experiments, and computation — we show why this problem is so difficult. We discuss how adopting such an integrative strategy can help in tackling it. The presentation is specially aimed at undergraduate students.
