About the editors
Dr. Stephen T. Abedon has been a member of the faculty of the Ohio State University, Department of Microbiology, for over 25 years. He has been studying bacteriophages for 35-plus years and has over 100 phage-based publications including 9 monographs or equivalents on phages which he has edited (1), co-edited (7), or single authored (1), along with 3 more edited volumes currently in progress. Additional information and resources can be found at abedon.phage.org.
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.
Dr. Malcolm L. McConville is a microbiologist with over 30 years industrial experience. Having gained a B.Sc. (Cardiff University, UK) and Ph.D. (University of Reading, UK), he has worked in the contract biomedical research industry and for AmpliPhi Biosciences Corporation (formerly Biocontrol Ltd) on the commercial development of bacteriophage therapy products. He is currently Trials Director at Evolution Biotechnologies.
