The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University and CreatiPhage signed an agreement on July 8, 2026, to build a phage bank and establish a research project. CreatiPhage

PBD Biotech says its Actiphage phage-based blood test, which detects live mycobacteria, can now be used to test alpacas, sheep and goats for Johne's Disease. The company says Actiphage identifies live infection from a single milk or blood s

Nicholas Smith will lead nuclear imaging and phage pharmacokinetics research and the pharmacology and modelling core at Stanford’s $9.5 million Center for Phage Pharmaceuticals. The NIAID-funded work focuses on optimizing respiratory phage

A model infers differences between individual phage infections from population-level measurements, checked against single-cell experiments in a marine phage–cyanobacterium system. University of Maryland — Jennifer Holland

Theraphage Lab announces Bacteriophage-Based Vectors in Gene Therapy by Roderick Slavcev, Julia Lumini, Krish Devgan, Deborah Pushparajah, Kate Nagge and Alexandra Slavcev, available from Cambridge Scholars. The book covers the use of phage

Inserm's Phage Therapy booster programme, led by its Health technologies and Immunology, inflammation, infectiology and microbiology institutes, will fund a single three-year consortium of 10-12 participants (individual researchers or teams

A McMaster team developed a targeted phage approach to disarm adherent-invasive E. coli linked to inflammation in some people with Crohn’s disease. In controlled experimental models, phages reduced gut inflammation by changing bacterial beh

The Silveira Lab is searching for a Postdoctoral Associate to investigate how bacteriophages modulate geochemical biomarkers in green and purple sulfur bacteria. The NASA-funded project combines field experiments and bioinformatic analyses.

What if you could build biology in a tube, no cells required? Invitris is a Munich-based cell-free synthesis company starting with bacteriophages. Kilian Vogele, co-founder of Invitris, joins Jessica and Joe to explain how cell-free phage p

Dr. Gregory German of Unity Health Toronto will lead P-PEAKS UTI, an international clinical trial in which about 220 women with E. coli urinary tract infections lasting a year or more will receive either personalized phage therapy or placeb

Judith Sar discusses the regulation of E. coli F anti-phage defense genes during T5 infection in a Phages.fr talk hosted on Canal-U. Phages.fr on Canal-U

The REPhRAME project, coordinated by Universitätsmedizin Frankfurt under Prof. Maria J.G.T. Vehreschild, has been awarded €15 million through Horizon Europe; it began in June 2026 and is planned to run for five years. It will assess in a ra

Non-peer-reviewed scoping-review poster from the NSU KPCOM Student Research Day (May 15, 2026), published on Cureus, that searched six databases for studies of bacteriophage therapy in autoimmune disease. It reports disease-associated chang

A Nature Communications Review by Sam P. B. van Beljouw and Li Yuping (Biozentrum, University of Basel) on jumbo bacteriophages, whose double-stranded DNA genomes exceed 200 kb. It covers their diversity, evolutionary origins, distinctive m

A meta-analysis of 12 infant cohorts across 8 countries (1,893 samples from 999 infants) models gut virome development over the first three years of life. Viral richness rose significantly over the first eight months alongside a loss of com

Precise Health SA, a Biopôle-based EPFL spin-out, has kicked off an Innosuisse Innovation Project worth approximately CHF 900,000 with the University of Geneva and Geneva University Hospitals (HUG). The project builds on its AI-powered Phag

Cui and colleagues report in Science Advances that Acinetobacter baumannii makes 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide monophosphates (2′,3′-cNMPs) with the ribonuclease RnaA and senses them through the receptor protein CRPAb, which affects the interacti

In this preprint, a 1:1 Loop and Spear cocktail did not improve bacterial suppression over Loop alone and showed multiplicity-dependent antagonism. In a Galleria mellonella larvae infection model, only sequential treatment with Spear follow

A high-throughput platform identified gut phages that adhere to epithelial layers and the immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain proteins that mediate it: displayed on a non-adherent phage, they confer epithelial binding and internalization in vit

Gladstone launched the Center for PhAIge Therapy to harness AI for research on drug-resistant infections. NIAID provided an initial $2 million award, with total funding up to $10 million available over the proposed five-year project period.
