About the Speakers Diana Alves, School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, Univeristy of Brighton / Blond McIndoe Research Foundation, Brighton UK Dr Diana R. Alves, is a bacteriophage biologist that recently finished her PhD in the Biophysical Chemistry Research Group in the University of Bath (UK). She has been focus in developing and characterising responsive polyvalent bacteriophage therapeutics, particularly for the treatment of biofilm infections, mainly caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical strains. Her main target is the disruption of biofilms, frequently observed in burn and chronic wounds. She has been working in closely with groups developing smart wound dressings where development of a triggered released of therapeutic bacteriophages when infection in the wound takes place. Hence, she is highly interested in assessing systems to stabilise and deliver the bacteriophage to the site of infection.
