Interview: Milena Milovanović, FIRE Doctoral School PhD student, on phage genotype-phenotype linkage

Second-year PhD student Milena Milovanović explains her thesis on how phages match their own DNA to their own proteins even when assembled outside a cell, using the PHEIGES test-tube system developed with the lab of Vincent Noireaux; she is co-supervised by Ariel Lindner and Claude Loverdo at Sorbonne Université. The interview also describes the FIRE Doctoral School, with applications open until 3 April 2026.
