Applications for the Pharmabiotics 2020 Young Investigators Awards are now open! This is a co-initiative by the Pharmabiotic Research Institute (PRI) and Institut Mérieux. An award of €10,000 will be allocated to a young clinician or academ

The 2nd Hanson Wade Bacteriophage Therapy Summit will take place March 24-26, 2020 in Boston. Key speakers include representatives from the FDA and the EMA, as well as leaders of several phage biotech companies.

I am working on isolation and characterisation of marine phages for anti-bio fouling activity. Our lab has assessed the influence of chlorine on different marine microorganisms as well as barnacles, and now we are looking into use of marine

John Rex, MD (Chief Medical Officer for Wellcome Trust) has written a blog post about a new paper published by Ursula Theuretzbacher and colleagues on the global pre-clinical pipeline for antibacterials. It shows that as of May 2019, 33/407

Steven Swift (Beltsville Agricultural Research Center) and colleagues have engineered a chimeric phage lysin that lyses Clostridium perfringens, an important poultry pathogen. They fused the cell wall binding domain of a C. perfringens phag

Several new phage therapy reviews are out: one on the pharmacological limitations of phage therapy by Anders Nilsson, one on promises and pitfalls of in vivo evolution to improve phage therapy by James Bull and colleagues, and one on explor

Phages were successfully used to treat a 41-year old's cardiac infection, which involved a cardiac implantable electronic device and aortic graft, at the German Heart Center Berlin in Berlin, Germany.

Congratulations to Dr. Minmin Yen, CEO of PhagePro, a company developing a phage cocktail as a household cholera prophylactic — she just won $10,000 in the 2019 TropMed pitch competition hosted by the American Society for Tropical Medicine
