Prof. Avigdor Eldar, Edmond J. Safra affiliate (Life Sciences), and a team of European scientists from the UK and Spain have received the highly prestigious European Research Council Synergy award to reveal how viruses of bacteria communicate with each other.
The team, which includes three research groups, was awarded the ERC synergy grant to better understand the modes by which these viruses communicate and the extent of communication between different viruses.
