Cloning and Co-expression of Holin and Endolysin Genes from Salmonella Typhi Phages for Controlled Bacterial Lysis and Antibacterial Activity
Bio
Tambe Tipah is a young technical builder based in Nigeria, who recently received a grant from Merge Grants to explore the cloning and co-expression of holin and endolysin genes from Salmonella Typhi phages. This project aims to achieve controlled bacterial lysis and enhance antibacterial activity, reflecting Tambe's growing expertise in microbiology and genetic engineering. Prior to this, Tambe has been involved in various projects that demonstrate a strong foundation in technical skills, laying the groundwork for their current work in phage biology.
