Saturday, April 12 at 4:00pm at HQ L02: THE GOOD VIRUS w/ panel discussion

Featuring author and New York Times columnist Carl Zimmer in conversation with Benjamin Chan (Scientific Director at the Center for Phage Biology & Therapy) and Vanessa Dylyn (film producer)

Description: The Good Virus is a character-driven feature documentary that explores the global efforts of leading scientists combatting one of the most pressing health challenges of our time—the urgent issue of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) infections. AMR is already killing millions each year. The global medical community is out of solutions for drug-resistant superbugs and is turning to bacteria’s ancient enemy: bacteriophages. In its One Health approach, the film explores the scientists’ revolutionary approach of using phages to combat deadly bacteria in the environment, in animals and humans, and to create an equal healthcare system, giving low-income countries independence from Big Pharma.

2024 | Directed by Rosie Dransfeld | Canada | 50 minutes

Sponsored by the Center for Phage Biology & Therapy at Yale
