The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded the Wyss Institute a grant to investigate ways to combat gastrointestinal illness with genetically engineered bacteria. Investigators, including SEED 2015 co-chair Pamela Silver (Harvard Medical School), are also designing a method to prevent the therapeutic probiotics from having unintended effects on the environment when exiting the gastrointestinal tract.
