- C&T Round Up for November 2022!Happy December, everyone. I hope you've all enjoyed your Thanksgiving! Jessica and I took a short break in New Zealand and it was sublime. This past month, we featured an article by Adam Yang that explored COVID-19 and phages. We also…
- The secret killer behind COVID-19 and the potential remedyThis week, Adam Yang of Lake Forest Academy explores secondary bacterial infections behind COVID-19 deaths, and discusses how phage therapy may be used as a solution.
- Part 3: Building a sustainable ecosystem for phage therapyThis week, Ruby CY Lin of Phage Australia dives further into commercialization pathways and opportunities for Phage Australia, and the phage industry as a whole.
- Part 2: Building a sustainable ecosystem for phage therapyThis week, Ruby CY Lin of Phage Australia dives further into commercialization pathways and opportunities for Phage Australia, and the phage industry as a whole.
In Part Two of this three-part series, she explores possible phage therapy…
- C&T Round Up for October 2022!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!
- Building a sustainable ecosystem for phage therapyThis week, Ruby CY Lin of Phage Australia dives deep into commercialization pathways and opportunities for Phage Australia, and the phage industry as a whole.
In Part One of this three-part series, she explains the importance of phage…
- World Phage Week 2022This week, Oluwasegun Isaac Daramola and Williams Timilehin Owoeye explain why you should join them in celebrating another spooky World Phage Week!
- How to design a phage data systemThis week Jan Zheng explores a few design decisions and considerations behind building a system for collecting data from every part of the phage therapy pipeline.
- C&T Round Up for September 2022!This week, we highlight the feature articles we published in September! Learn about main themes from Phage Futures Europe 2022, MetaPhage: a new pipeline for turning raw reads into phage insights, and how to set up a basic phage QC system…
- How do we prove our phages are safe?Patients need safe phages, but most regulators don't yet have official positions on what makes a phage batch safe. This week, Jessica Sacher (Iredell lab, Phage Australia) shares her recent foray into learning about phage quality control…
- MetaPhage: Towards user-friendly phage bioinformaticsMetaPhage is a new pipeline for turning raw reads into phage insights. It’s a massive step in the right direction towards one-click phage analysis. Here's my trying (and failing) to run MetaPhage on a laptop, and a short tutorial to get you…
- Looking back on Phage Futures Europe 2022 — Part 2Phage Futures Europe was recently held in Amsterdam, where the phage biotech field came together to discuss recent progress in clinical phage therapy and commercialization. Jessica Neubauer and Madhav Madurantakam Royam are back this week…
- C&T Round Up for August 2022!This week, we highlight the feature articles we published in August! Learn about phage+AI and how you can get involved, what happened at Phage Futures this year, how phage-making is going at Phage Australia, and meet Phage Directory's…
- PhageAI and natural language processing for in silico characterization of the phage life cycleThis week Marcin Lubocki and Piotr Tynecki explain how AI tools like PhageAI can help us characterize our phages faster and more accurately (but only with the help of the phage community!).
- Looking back on Phage Futures Europe 2022 — Part 1Last month Madhav Madurantakam Royam and Jessica Neubauer attended Phage Futures Europe in Amsterdam, and they've brought us a sneak-peek into what they learned!
- Therapeutic phage-making: how my first batch measured upThis week Jessica Sacher shares an update on her work toward setting up a new phage-making system in the Iredell lab (part of Phage Australia).
- We have the best volunteers!Our lovely phage community would not exist without the hard work of some incredible phage enthusiasts! This week, we're recognizing a few of our Phage Directory volunteers for some great stuff they've done lately.
- C&T Round Up for July 2022!This week, we highlight the feature articles we published in July! Learn about Intralytix's past and present, navigating complexity when you start making phages for therapy, and the new phage-bacteria interaction atlas the Gates Foundation…
- Illuminating one of biology’s biggest blind spotsThere's still too little data on phage-bacteria biology to support scalable therapeutic phage development. This week, Kayla Young of Phase Genomics tells us how proximity ligation-based metagenomic sequencing is enabling the world’s first…
- How to start making phages for therapyThis week Jessica Sacher takes us through her process for setting up a new phage-making system in the lab, including making sense of a dizzying array of options, managing overwhelm, and resisting 'optimization creep'.
