Dear Phage aficionados,

We are excited to announce the Inaugural Symposium on Bacteriophages and Bacteriophage-derived Technologies to be held on December 10th 2021 in Singapore, jointly organised by Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (NTU), Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) and Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS). We warmly invite you to exchange ideas and discuss recent advances in phage research.

The one-day symposium will feature presentations by local and international bacteriophage experts and aficionados. Speakers include Keynote speaker John Chen (NUS), Niranjan Nagaranjan's laboratory (A*STAR), Karina Gin's Laboratory (NUS), Scott Rice's Laboratory (NTU, SCELSE), Andrea Kwa (SGH, Duke-NUS), Maurice van Steensel (NTU), Navin Kumar Verma (NTU), Wilfried Moreira (NUS), and more. The day will be closed by a group discussion on the future of bacteriophage biology in Singapore. Depending on the level of interest, there will also be selected talks from submitted abstracts and a virtual poster presentation will be held. Registration and abstract submissions are open and we look forward to count you as a participant.
