Washington University Medical Campus is seeking a Staff Scientist in Molecular Microbiology to study bacterial pathogens and bacteriophage interactions.

Intralytix is hiring a BioProcess Engineer to work at their headquarters in Columbia, Maryland. The role involves working on Production and Process Development, Purification, and Analytics, with a focus on bioreactors and fermenters.

A PhD position is available at the Technical University of Munich to investigate novel therapeutic interventions such as phage therapy for infections in preterm infants.

Attention all phage researchers! You’re invited to participate in an exciting initiative to help establish draft phage bank management guidelines for the community. To get started, please register your interest by completing this pre-quest

The Evergreen International Phage Meeting is happening Aug 6-11, 2023, live in Olympia, Washington, USA! This is an in-person meeting, better known as Phage Camp! Come present your phage work, climb mountains with other phage scientists, pl

A new phage therapy company has launched! Phiogen is a spinoff from Baylor College of Medicine, located at Texas Medical Center's Innovation Hub. Based on TAILOR Labs’ phage therapy work, and building on patented technology for evolving pha

Fixed Phage has shown that their technology, which stably immobilizes phages to excipients, can efficiently treat acne when immobilized onto nylon beads and delivered through a cream, reducing the bacterial load on the skin.

In a new preprint, Ritam Das and colleagues have systematically characterized the genomic characteristics, lifestyle, and potential therapeutic applications of ten B1 sub-cluster mycobacteriophages. They predicted the function of 55% of the

In the arms race between bacteria and phages, some large-genome jumbo phages have evolved a protein shell that encloses their replicating genome. In a new preprint, Eray Enustun and colleagues have used proximity labeling to identify a ‘pha

Tanita Wein and colleagues have published a new preprint on caspase recruitment domains (CARDs), which play a crucial role in inflammasome activity and pyroptosis. They found that CARD-like domains are present in phage defense systems, and

SNIPR Biome announced positive interim results from its Phase 1 trial of SNIPR001, a cocktail of four CRISPR-armed phages that targets E. coli, including antibiotic-resistant strains, in the gut. In 36 healthy volunteers (24 on three dose l

Nature Communications paper that builds artificial viral vectors (AVVs) from bacteriophage T4 components: a 120 × 86 nm capsid shell that holds 171-Kbp DNA and thousands of protein copies is loaded with DNAs, proteins, RNAs and ribonucleopr

This month, we covered a new phage podcast, launched the Evergreen Phage Meeting sign up site, and talked about using databases for phage work! Time marches on, and another month has gone by! This month we launched the new Evergreen Phage M

Phage utility against Burkholderia cepacia complex species has been restricted by the prevailing paradigm of only using rare, obligately lytic phages, due to the perception that lysogenic phages are therapeutically unsuitable. Philip Lauman

Aleksandra Petrovic Fabijan and colleagues have written a perspective piece on translating phage therapy into the clinic. They delve into the history, turning points, recent studies and successes, and dig into the remaining biological, regu

Temperate phages drive bacterial genome evolution and impact human health. In a new paper, Justin Silpe and colleagues explore interprophage competition during polylysogeny, shedding light on induction mechanisms and strategies.

NL Haddock and colleagues published a preprint demonstrating that phage populations in infected bodily fluids mirror the abundance and diversity of bacterial pathogens, suggesting a close relationship between phages and bacteria at sites of

Ana Georgina Cobián Güemes and colleagues published a preprint highlighting the potential of jumbo phages in combating Pseudomonas recently associated with the eyedrop outbreak that led to three deaths this year.

A Teaching Assistant position is available for SEA-PHAGES, instructed by Dr. Corinne Maurice, at McGill University. The TA will instruct and guide 26 undergrad students in lab-based phage research techniques.

Colin Hill is recruiting a Research Assistant using job ID 067334) to join his Gut Phageomics Lab to investigate the role of phages in gut microbiome structure, function & assembly.
