Dr. Benjamin H. Burrowes received his Ph.D. in medical microbiology from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in 2010, where his research focus was the development of therapeutic bacteriophages with extended host range using in vitro evolution. Upon leaving Texas, Dr. Burrowes worked at Biocontrol Inc. (now AmpliPhi Biosciences Corporation) developing multiple human phage therapy preparations targeting several major bacterial pathogens. Ben left GeneWEAVE some time ago and now works as Senior Consultant at Evolution Biotechnologies, Georgetown, TX, USA, working on novel phage therapeutics, and as a Senior Scientist at the Center for Phage Technology, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA.
