This month, we heard about the Southeast Asia phage workshop, a few tidbits from Evergreen, and a brief intro on using ChatGPT for lab work! Hey everyone, I’m writing this from the Melbourne Docklands library, as Jessica is presenting her

This week, we finally get to post the recap of Evergreen Phage Meeting! With a flurry of guest posts, we didn't even get to write about Evergreen until a couple of months after the event — but here's what went down, a picture gallery, and s

This week, we have a special guest post by Donna May Papa, who writes about the Southeast Asia Hands-on Phage Workshop run by Tobi Nagel over at Phages for Global Health! ## The Need to Address a Global Concern Antimicrobial resistance (AM

This month we heard about the ICBRAR phage conference in India, got an excerpt from The Good Virus by Tom Ireland, had a look behind the scenes of a Swiss team battling UTIs with engineered phages, and learned about speeding up the phage th

This week, we have an amazing guest article from Matthew Dunne and the Loessner Lab at ETH Zurich about their phage-based diagnostic tool and engineered phage work. Recently, the phage engineering team within the group of Prof. Martin Loess

This week, Atif Khan, a core contributor for Capsid & Tail, tells us a bit about the history of phage work in India, and invites us to join him at the ICBRAR 2023, an upcoming phage conference in Chennai. Both Jess and I will be speaking vi

Hi everyone! Evergreen is in TWO DAYS! We’re doing a lot of work preparing for the 25th Evergreen Phage Meeting, and it’s been a whirlwind. There’s a lot we’ve done, and there’s a lot left to do for before, during, and after the meeting. He

This month, we heard about PHIOGEN, a new phage startup, about how the phage therapy system works at Phage Australia, and about a biobank data platform we're building at Phage Australia. Alright everyone, just about a week away from Evergre

How do you design a system that can share data across phage labs and biobanks? But also track where a phage came from and where a phage went? And along the way let each lab selectively pitch in their lab data? We'll get into some higher lev

This month, we covered a new phage podcast, launched the Evergreen Phage Meeting sign up site, and talked about using databases for phage work! Time marches on, and another month has gone by! This month we launched the new Evergreen Phage M

This week, we’re proud to open up registration for the Evergreen Phage Meeting. This year’s Evergreen phage meeting will be in-person (!), absolutely packed with science and activities (!!), and will be a celebration of both Betty’s lifetim

Want to hear Joana Azeredo talk about phage activity against biofilms? Or Martin Loessner speaking about L-forms and endolysins? How to set up an Appleman´s protocol with Ben Burrowes? This week a group of PhD students in the Azeredo Lab in

This week, Jan goes meta about data. Everyone throws around the term data, but what is it exactly? Jan explores the different kinds of data, how to work with data, and shares some ideas for keeping data neat and tidy. “Data” is one of those

This week, Dr. Josh Jones from UK Phage Therapy drops an announcement on the establishment of a new UK-based phage therapy screening and manufacturing initiative, which will function as the UK’s national clinical phage centre. Bacteriophage

Well hello there, 2023! We’ve made great strides in the past year, gotten our hands wet in the lab (Jessica at least 😉), built data systems, and even delivered phages for patients. This year we aim to do a whole lot more of that! This week

We’re at the end of the year again, and what a whirlwind of a 2022 it’s been! Here's our annual end-of-year reflection on what we're most proud of, what we've accomplished, & those who've helped us along the way! Hi phage friends, We’re at

This week, we highlight our October feature articles: Dive down the rabbit hole with us on designing phage data systems, building sustainable phage therapy, and get excited for this year's World Phage Week! Here's what we published this mon

This week, Oluwasegun Isaac Daramola and Williams Timilehin Owoeye explain why you should join them in celebrating another spooky World Phage Week! In 2008, when Prof. Graham Hatfull started the implementation of the Science Education Allia

This week Jan Zheng explores a few design decisions and considerations behind building a system for collecting data from every part of the phage therapy pipeline. For phage therapy to be efficient, cost-effective, and reliable at scale, eve

This week, we highlight the feature articles we published in September! Learn about main themes from Phage Futures Europe 2022, MetaPhage: a new pipeline for turning raw reads into phage insights, and how to set up a basic phage QC system i
