An emerging theme of current biomedical study is a synthesis of multi-disciplinary tools to address the complex biological issues. This trend raised the bar for undergraduate teaching and learning. The phage is an ideal material for teaching reform. Inspired by the “phage hunter” project initiated by Pittsburg University, we present our practice in translating the mycobacteriophage research a chievements into undergraduate teaching experience during the last five years.
