Prof. Dr. Alexander Harms is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Health Sciences and Technology, ETH Zürich. His research focuses on molecular phage biology, antibiotic resistance mechanisms, and bacterial defense systems. He leads studies on bacteriophage genomics, phage-host interactions, and the development of novel antimicrobial strategies.
His work includes genome sequencing of bacteriophages, elucidating anti-phage defense mechanisms, and exploring phage evolution using automated systems. Notable contributions involve the BASEL phage collection and investigations into antibiotic tolerance in bacterial populations. Collaborations emphasize open science practices to improve biomaterial sharing in research.
Recent articles highlight advancements in phage therapy, molecular mechanisms of bacterial resistance, and synthetic biology applications. His lab integrates genomic, structural, and ecological approaches to advance understanding of microbial systems and their therapeutic potential.
