Greg German and his team in Toronto have successfully used personalized phage therapy to cure a UTI in a patient, as covered by Canada’s CTV News. This is the first patient in their clinical trial, and constitutes Canada’s first phage thera

Matthias Fischer (Max Planck Institute for Medical Research) and colleagues have discovered a stunning structural diversity of giant virus-like particles in forest soil, including giant icosahedral capsids with structural modifications not

Krista Freeman (University of Pittsburgh) and colleagues have found that several mycobacteriophages have O-linked glycans, mediated by phage-encoded glycosyltransferases, which can alter antibody binding and recognition.

Designer phages by Eligo Bioscience have been highlighted by the World Economic Forum as a key transformative force for the coming years, coincidentally on World Microbiome Day.

Phage therapy was covered in ‘Grow by Ginkgo’ magazine’s Scale issue; well-researched piece with a great narrative! Good one to share with public audiences, and highlights that the synthetic biology / biomanufacturing community is starting
