Sarah won the prestigious 2024 Lasker Essay Contest with her insightful essay, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend", which lead to its publication in the Journal of Clinical Investigations. Her work explored the potential of phage therapy to combat antibiotic-resistant infections, and the questions that must be answered before phage therapy can be wildly used. Voss's essay impressed the judges with its clarity, scientific accuracy, and compelling argument for further research into this promising area of biomedical science. Her achievement highlights the importance of innovative approaches to addressing critical challenges in modern medicine.
