The Hull York Medical School is looking for a PhD student to work on an interdisciplinary programme of work supervised by Dr Holly Wilkinson and colleagues, which aims to elucidate the effects of antimicrobial resistant S. aureus on human s

Returning in-person for the first time since 2019, Phage Futures: USA is back — taking place November 16-17 in Boston, we’re bringing together 170+ leaders in the phage community to accelerate the translation of bacteriophage research into

This PhD studentship at the University of Exeter and University of Bath is for a student to work on a project entitled Quantitative Modelling of Bacteriophage Degradation of Biofilms. The project will involve a combination of simulations an

Postdoc position: Bacteriophage evolution at UC San Diego, in collaboration with the UCSD's IPATH and Yale’s Center for Phage Biology and Therapy. Given the incredibly high genetic diversity of phages, their capacity to evolve, and their fl

The CNRS in France is looking to hire a PhD student to work on developing biocompatible hydrogel-based coatings / biomaterials that can be loaded with anti-staphylococcal phages.

My Hero & Me - Different flavors of phage-host prediction powered by machine learning: how and why?: Dimi Boeckaerts and Simon Roux discuss different approaches to building machine learning models for phage-host prediction in this webinar.

Connor Brown on Twitter: "have a set of de novo assembled viral genomes from metagenome and trying to figure out who they are and their potential hosts. very few have BLAST hits against ncbi. any suggestions? #Bioinformatics #metagenomics #

In this episode of the Phage Therapy Today podcast, host Steven Yang sits down with Dr. Steven Theriault from Cytophage Technologies Inc. to discuss how he is building and expanding businesses in both clinical and agricultural markets acros

In a new preprint, Medeea Popescu and colleagues report that the bacteriophage Pf4, produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, dampens inflammatory responses in response to either P. aeruginosa airway infection in a mouse model of acute pneumonia

In a new paper in Current Opinion in Microbiology, Aisylu Shaidullina and Alexander Harms present an overview of recent breakthroughs in the systematic investigation of phage-host interactions. They highlight recent work on the molecular ba

This preprint by Séraphine Degroux et al. presents the electron cryo-microscopy structure of bacteriophage T5 RBPpb5 in complex with its E. coli receptor, the iron ferrichrome transporter FhuA.

In a new paper in Nature Microbiology, Benjamin Adler et al. show that the CRISPR-Cas13a protein from Leptotrichia buccalis has robust antiviral activity against a wide range of phages and can be applied as a generalizable tool for editing

Guy Mason and Enrique R. Rojas published a new preprint entitled Mechanical compression induces persistent bacterial growth during bacteriophage predation. The paper discusses how bacteria can grow persistently when perfused with high-titer

This week, we highlight our October feature articles: Dive down the rabbit hole with us on designing phage data systems, building sustainable phage therapy, and get excited for this year's World Phage Week! Here's what we published this mon

The Dragos lab at the University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty is looking for a postdoc in microbiology with experience in microscopic analysis of bacterial cells, Bacillus sp gene regulation, genetic engineering of microbes and phage-

Edze Westra (University of Exeter) is looking for a PhD student to work on the evolution of viral communication systems.

This PhD project at the University of Exeter aims to understand mechanisms of synergy between bacterial anti‐phage defences.

This PhD project, co-supervised by Tiffany Taylor (University of Bath), Edze Westra (University of Exeter), and Andrew Preston (University of Bath), with collaborators Ben Ashby (Simon Fraser University) will study the interplay between a n

The SWBio DTP is advertising a PhD project on how biofilms protect themselves against bacteriophage infection and how they fail.
