Studies in the Maxwell lab focus on the interactions of bacteria with the phages that infect and kill them. The Maxwell group leverages a cutting edge, multi-disciplinary approach, combining their extensive expertise in phage biology, structural biology, bioinformatics, with detailed in vitro and in vivo studies to investigate exciting new areas in phage biology.

Current projects in the Maxwell lab fall under two main research areas: anti-phage defence and characterizing the dark matter of phage genomes. For more detailed information, please see our publications here or on PubMed.
