Borrelia, Bacteriophages, & Becoming a “College Professor in New England”: Meet Dr. Eggers

Meet Dr. Eggers! Bobcat 🐯: Listen to his journey of becoming a scientist and what led him to teach/research at Quinnipiac University.  Beaker 🧪: Get a peek into the Eggers Lab, which mainly investigates the genetic makeup of the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi (the causative agent of Lyme disease), including the role bacteriophages play in their genetic makeup and how this potentially influences disease pathogenicity.
