VIRUSES as Medicine?

[EPISODE 2]: VIRUSES as Medicine with Dr. Josh Levitt and Paul Turner, PhD Today's episode of What’s YOUR Medicine is all about VIRUSES… and how my guest Paul Turner of Yale, alongside his team, are flipping the script and harnessing them to kill even the most drug resistant bacteria known today! I know, it sounds like science fiction, and most of us think of viruses as a bad thing (and they certainly can be!) But, Dr. Turner's pioneering work in the field is making that vision of using them to our benefit a reality, and he's here to talk about it, coming up! So If combating bacteria with viruses as a means to help people get OUT of pain when their options have become limited... keep listening!
