Gator Bio in Palo Alto is hiring a Senior Scientist (Phage Display), to study phage display adaptation for antibody generation and lead technology improvement projects at the interface of optical design, material science, and surface chemis

Wageningen University & Research is hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher, to study phage evolution in 2D and 3D habitats where phage hitchhiking on superhosts like nematodes and insects helps overcome spatial barriers.

You’re invited to submit an abstract to the inaugural Conference on Bacteriophages: Biology, Dynamics, and Therapeutics, chaired by Graham Hatfull (University of Pittsburgh) and Robert (Chip) Schooley (UCSD). Topics range from phage struct

In Episode 45 of the International Antiviral Society (IAS-USA)’s Going anti-Viral podcast, Dr. Michael Saag speaks with Dr. Graham F. Hatfull (University of Pittsburgh) about Bacteriophages for the Treatment of Antimicrobial-resistant Bacte

Benjamin Chan (Yale University) and colleagues published a new paper on outcomes from the first 9 adult CF compassionate use cases treated with personalized inhaled P. aeruginosa phage therapy at Yale. 5-18 days after phage therapy, they sa

Emily Armbruster (University of California San Diego) and colleagues published a new paper on sequential membrane- and protein-bound organelles in phage infection, showing chimalliviruses use two organelles - an early membrane-bound vesicle

Tao Yang (Zhejiang University) and colleagues published a new paper on tumor-homing phage nanofibers for targeted cancer therapy, showing phage-templated platinum nanozymes can enhance photodynamic therapy of breast tumors by alleviating hy

Hollyn Franklin (Virginia Tech) and colleagues published a new paper on a phage-conditional mouse model, showing acriflavine can deplete gut phages without significantly impacting bacteria, allowing study of phage impacts in conventionally

Nadezhda Kolupaeva (State Research Center for Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, Russia) and colleagues published a new paper on diverse prophage content in A. baumannii and K. pneumoniae bloodstream isolates from patients in the ICU,

"Finally, finally we have Phase 2 data. We put a dent in the theory that phage therapy doesn't work. Maybe it does work. Maybe it's worth taking a risk." Jonathan Solomon joins Jessica Sacher and Joe Campbell on the Podovirus Podcast to dis

Byers et al. report that telomere phages, which replicate their genomes as linear extrachromosomal elements, are widely distributed in bacteria and highly prevalent in Klebsiella species. In phage-host cells only a small set of phage protei
