As part of the project, students participate in efforts to expand the Israeli phage bank. We create a “bacterial hit list” of target strains and challenge participants to find phages that can eliminate them.

During the project, students are introduced to advanced methods of microbiology, microscopy, and even genome sequencing.

The project is currently taking place at Or Branko Weiss High School in Tzur Hadassah and will later be expanded to other high schools.
