Epidode 36 | Emma Sheriff on Award Winning Phage Proteomics
Tuesday, 27 January, 2026
In this episode, we speak with Emma Sheriff from the University of Helsinki, winner of a FEMS Microbes Article Award, about her groundbreaking research into the complex interplay between bacteriophages and Enterococcus faecalis. Her work sheds new light on phage infection dynamics using proteomics, revealing uncharacterized phage proteins and significant shifts in bacterial protein expression. Most notably, Emma explores how the bacterial protease GelE may protect against phage infection—and how this mechanism could be targeted to improve phage therapy. Tune in to discover how these insights could shape future antimicrobial strategies.Read the award winning paper: Enterococcal quorum-controlled protease alters phage infectionDiscover all the FEMS Journals Article Awards from 2024.
