Only 4 months remain until the Viruses of Microbes 2024 Meeting takes place (July 15-19, 2024). Phage researchers are encouraged to confirm their participation early to plan for the trip down under!

From David Bikard via Twitter: A question to the phage aficionado. Do you have clear examples of anti-phage defense systems that block the production or assembly of phage particles without targeting the phage DNA and without resulting in ce

Dear phage researchers, for receptor-binding experiments, we are looking for phage T2. If anyone is still actively working with T2, we'd appreciate a small sample. With best wishes, Mark van Raaij, mjvanraaij@cnb.csic.es

Dear researchers and Professors: This is a small bio-technology company in China. We urgently need to buy or share some Streptococcus mutant phage M102, M102AD, e10, f1, SMHBZ8, APCM01, phiKSM96, to continue our research, If you got some or

Hi, everyone in phage community, my name is Dr. Prince, I belong to India, and I completed my doctorate in phage characterization and its application. I am looking for a postdoc position in phage biology. Please help me for the postdoc posi

Cytophage, a Canadian phage biotech, recently made its debut on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), and just announced that they’ve completed R&D on their OvaPhage product, to be sprayed over chicken eggs to reduce Salmonella, Escherichia, an

BiomX got orphan drug designation from the FDA for its BX004 phage cocktail for CF P. aeruginosa. This helps lower the cost and risk of drug development through extended exclusivity, lower filing fees and access to grants.
