The TAILOR team at Baylor College of Medicine now has a YouTube channel! Check out their recent one, a recorded talk on AMR and phage therapy by one of TAILOR's founders, Dr. Anthony Maresso, called Chasing Change: A moving pandemic, an ada

James Gurney (Georgia Institute of Technology) and colleagues published a new paper on 'phage steering': when phages are used to push pathogens to evolve to be less antibiotic-resistant. They show that Pseudomonas phage OMKO1 effectively pu
