Welcome to the Bollyky Lab website
The Bollyky Lab studies bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, with the goal of developing innovative strategies to improve human health.
Key areas of active research involve: 1. Bacteriophages and bacterial pathogenesis in skin and lung infections, 2. Phage therapy, specifically the development of phages to treat antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, 3. Synthetic biology, specifically the development of phages as vectors for delivery of genes, peptides, and small molecules to human cells.
Looking for a lab?
We are looking for enthusiastic and driven undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral researchers with interests and expertise in engineering, microbiology, biological sciences, or a related field. Independence, creativity, passion, and good communication skills are essential.
The Bollyky Lab is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive community of scientists and engineers from all backgrounds including (but not limited to) ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, socioeconomic status, experience, and training. We believe that an inclusive environment is the only fertile medium in which to pursue excellence in learning, research, and service. The Bollyky Lab is dedicated to building an open and accepting laboratory environment to welcome talented individuals from all backgrounds and foster their growth and success here at Stanford and in their future careers.
If you are interested in joining our lab, please feel free to contact team members to discuss their experience in the lab and within the Stanford community.
To apply as a PhD student, please first apply to the Doctoral Prorgam in Microbiology & Immunology or Immunology. The department provides every PhD student with full financial support for the duration of the PhD degree, contingent on the student maintaining satisfactory academic progress.
To apply as a post-doc, please send a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references to: pbollyky@bollykylab
