The Sydney Children's Hospitals Network (Kids Research) is excited to present the 4th webinar in their Advanced Therapeutics webinar series, "When a Virus is the Cure – phage therapy & mini lungs", which will focus on phage therapy and airway organoids.

When: Jul 23, 2021, 2:00 PM in Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney

Phage therapy offers an exciting new treatment option to target difficult-to-treat infections, including infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. Airway organoids created from individual patients’ stem cells provide a model for that individual’s disease. They can be used for disease modelling and personalised medicine.

Hear from two leading experts in paediatric infectious diseases and stem cell biology, who are investigating novel therapeutic options for patients with cystic fibrosis and other difficult-to-treat infections. Speakers will discuss: • Phage therapy – what is it and how are we using it to help patients at Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network? • Airway organoids - what are they and how do we use them in conditions such as Cystic Fibrosis?
