The Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium under attack by the immune system.
Imagine a world where we don’t fear Lyme disease, but actively prevent it – or at least treat it in a much more targeted way, especially for those who suffer for a long time after being bitten. Dr. Michal “Mikki” Caspi Tal, an immunological engineer and associate director of research at the MIT Gynaecological Pathology Research Centre, is working to make this a reality.
His research is not only pushing the boundaries of science – it is rewriting the rules of the game, especially in areas affecting women’s health.
“No one has looked at… what happens in the womb.”
