Silviane Miruka I am a student seeking a PhD opportunity in a phage lab. I recently did a project for my master's thesis titled "Molecular Detection of Pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus Using Phage Based Genetic Markers." Please email me at

People are starting to ask questions about phage therapy. We need your help to put together an FAQ. Do they qualify? How can they get it, and where do they get it? ## First things first: we're building a crowdsourced phage FAQ page We’d lik

IPATH has just received FDA approval to start its first clinical trial! This will be the first US trial involving intravenous (IV) phage treatment, and will be a collaboration with Ampliphi Biosciences.

Adaptive Phage Therapeutics has partnered with Yale University to manufacture and supply phages for use in Yale's upcoming clinical trials.

Johnson & Johnson has invested $20 million (with another ~$800 million to follow if things go well) into Locus Biosciences, a biotech company equipping phages with CRISPR-Cas3 to obliterate bacterial DNA upon phage infection.

A phase II clinical trial for a phage lysin has been deemed successful! An anti-Staphylococcus aureus phage lysin, called exebacase, was just found to be both safe and effective at treating MRSA in patients. Exebacase is being developed by

The phage therapy biotech company Ampliphi Biosciences is merging with C3J Therapeutics, a synthetic phage/antimicrobial engineering company.

Due to the partial U.S. government shutdown, ASM is extending the deadline for ASM Microbe abstract submissions to January 25, 2019.

Thanks to support from Roche Molecular Diagnostics and Intralytix, ASM Division M will provide 4 travel awards to students presenting phage work at ASM Microbe 2019! To apply, use "phage" as a keyword in your submitted abstract. Before you
