Cyanophages play an important role in controlling the abundance of their hosts, which are globally significant populations of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus. In a new paper published in Viruses, Emily Dart (Clark University) and colleaug

The research programme in molecular bacteriology at Imperial College London, led by Prof. José R Penadés, is looking for a Research Associate to analyse the impact of phages in the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

The FDA is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to help assess the potential of bacteriophage therapies against Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus species.

Join the Webinar organized by Africa Phage Forum on ''grant writing and effective communication'' today from 4 PM West Central Africa Time (GMT+1). Our speaker is Dr. Tobi Nagel, founder and President of Phages for Global Health. Register h

A bioRxiv preprint reports that highly purified phage T4 was rapidly internalized in vitro by A549 lung epithelial cells, MDCK-I kidney cells and mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages without activating TLR9 or cGAS-STING inflammatory pathw

This week we introduce a new guest writer, Thomas Hunt, who will write about his experiences in lab automation. In a lot of ways, the mentality of coding and lab work are polar opposites. Work in the lab is meticulous and demands a strong a

The University of Copenhagen is hiring a Senior Researcher in Computational Biodiscovery to work on phage informatics.

The Bordenstein lab is hiring for several positions (postdoc, staff scientist, technician, research professor) to work on animal-microbe endosymbiosis in Drosophila flies and Nasonia wasps. One project involves genomics and lytic functions

The Telethon Kids Institute in Perth, Australia is looking to appoint two Research Assistants to help investigate the role of the epithelium in the development of airway disease (as part of Telethon Kids' Therapeutic Phage and novel Drug De

The Centre for Microbiome Research (CMR) at Queensland University of Technology is looking to hire a Postdoctoral Research Fellow – Synthetic Biology to characterise viruses (primarily phage) from human gut microbiomes, and to to help devel

The Africa Phage Forum will be hosting a webinar on this Wednesday, 15th March 2023 at 6:00 PM East Africa Time (EAT). The webinar, titled ‘Scientific Writing & Effective Grant Writing’, will be given by Dr. Tobi Nagel, the Founder and Pres

The Good Virus is a new book by Tom Ireland that tells the story of phage research, from its beginnings to the present day. Now available for preorder in the UK and the US!

From Phage Twitter, via @hayleyn0rdstr0m: Adaptive Phage Therapeutics laid off 30% of the company this morning, including me… So, looking for phage research jobs in the DC metro area again! Drop me a DM if you have leads or want to chat.

The documentary, Salt in My Soul, follows the life of Mallory Smith, who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at age 3, and a resistant infection at age 15. In her final days, her father attempted to arrange phage therapy for her, but it was

In this study, Benjamin A. Adler (University of California, Berkeley) and colleagues used a high-throughput genetic screen to uncover genome-wide host suppressors of diverse single-gene lysis proteins (Sgls). See also this interview with th

Screen Australia has announced $4.6 million in production funding for 21 documentaries, including A Forgotten Cure (working title), a 54-minute phage therapy documentary that follows teams of scientists in Melbourne and Sydney (part of Phag

A new paper in Nature Microbiology by Madison C. Williams (University of Washington) and colleagues entitled Restriction endonuclease cleavage of phage DNA enables resuscitation from Cas13-induced bacterial dormancy reports that restriction

In a new preprint, Enea Maffei (University of Basel) and colleagues describe a new phage, Paride, which is able to kill dormant, antibiotic-tolerant bacteria. They suggest that this phage hijacks weak spots in the dormant physiology of anti

In this JAMA Medical News & Perspectives article, Eli Cahan discusses the resurgence of interest in phage therapy in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
