Check out this episode of the Phage Therapy Today podcast, which features Dr. Mercedes Gonzalez from INCATE (an AMR startup funder/accelerator) and Dr. Gregorio Iraola at Kinzbio, an INCATE recipient and founder of a new phage startup in Ur

One hundred personalized phage treatments, combined! Not only did Jean-Paul Pirnay and colleagues at the Queen Astrid Military Hospital in Belgium provide phages for 100 cases, they also published a full analysis of the outcomes! This led N

Katie Wiebe (Cytophage Technologies, Inc) and colleagues have outlined a scalable and efficient production strategy for the ETEC phage ‘Phage75’, which accounts for infection load, MOI, temperature, media, harvest time, and host bacteria (t

Qingquan (Kevin) Chen (Stanford University) and colleagues have demonstrated that filamentous Pf phages of P. aeruginosa hinder antibiotic diffusion through CF sputum via electrostatic binding.

In a recent perspective piece, Christine Szymanski (University of Georgia) highlights the limitless resources for exploitation that phages provide. She discusses their use in various fields such as phage therapy, gene transduction, and glyc

The Centre for Phage Research at the University of Leicester, UK is celebrating its one-year anniversary! Martha Clokie and Andrew Millard reflect on the first year.

A retrospective observational analysis of the first 100 consecutive cases of personalized phage therapy facilitated by a Belgian consortium in 35 hospitals across 12 countries (2008-2022) reports clinical improvement in 77.2% and eradicatio

Round up time! This month we covered why phage researchers are flocking to Australia in July (and California in June!), discussed our 'phage picks' for this month, and shared a very special story from one of the researchers that make up the

University of Toronto, Canada is hiring a Sessional Lecturer to teach the Principles of Genetic Analysis I Laboratory.

University of Otago, New Zealand is hiring a postdoc to contribute to research on enhancing seed inoculants with phages, adaptable phage solutions for biocontrol, and understanding phage-pathogen specificity for phage therapy.

The Bordenstein lab (Penn State University) is hiring a Research Technologist to conduct research in host-microbe symbioses and the microbiome sciences, spanning insect endosymbionts, phages, and animal-associated microbiomes.

Registration is now open for the 2024 International Soil Virus Conference! Soil virologists and enthusiasts will gather to explore the multifaceted roles of soil viruses within a One Health framework, with a special focus on meta-omics cha

Meow! A cat named Squeaks needed phage therapy after falling 3 stories, and thanks to Ronen Hazan’s lab in Jerusalem, she got it, and it saved her leg!

Stephen Tang (Columbia University, USA) and colleagues published a new preprint on de novo gene synthesis by an antiviral reverse transcriptase. They demonstrate bacterial creation of extrachromosomal genes via rolling-circle reverse transc

Toomas Mets (Lund University, Sweden) and colleagues published a new paper on the mechanism of phage sensing and restriction by toxin-antitoxin-chaperone systems. They show how E. coli TAC systems detect and neutralize phages by targeting m
