BiomX announces dual listing on the Tel-Aviv stock exchange.

Armata Pharmaceuticals and Innoviva have announced a $25 Million investment to support Armata's phage cocktail development.

We've seen Adaptive Phage Therapeutics (APT) in the news a lot lately—here's an interview with Greg Merril, APT's CEO, a podcast interview with a patient whose leg was saved by APT's phages, and a news article on APT's selection for Startup

Aurélie Mathieu (Université Paris-Saclay) and colleagues have published an exciting new paper in Nature Communications: they isolated 150 E. coli phages from fecal samples from 1-year-old infants. Then they analyzed the host range of the ph

Lance Boling (SDSU) and colleagues tested 117 consumable compounds (like toothpaste, Stevia, aspartame) for their ability to induce prophages from four bacterial species. They found that certain compounds induced prophages (some in a specie

A new article in STAT News by Eric Boodman (one of our favourite phage journalists!) talks about how a phage has been found that kills Mallory Smith's infective Burkholderia cepacia isolate. In Mallory's honour, the phage has been named BCM

Attention phage companies with interests in addressing animal health challenges! You can apply here to showcase your solution at the Animal Microbiome and Nutritional Health Congress in Chicago Mar 3-4, 2020. (Apparently most companies who'

When doing a PEG precipitation of phages, some people (like me) use a PEG stock solution (20-30% w/v PEG in NaCl), whereas other people add the PEG powder directly to the sample. What are the pros and cons? — @EvelienAdri Check out the Twi
