Another feather in the cap for African phage researchers!!

Dr. Jerrold Agbankpe was awarded the Iso Lomso Visiting Scholar Award to collaborate with researchers at the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study to develop phages as future antibiotic alternatives. Dr. Agbankpe also won the Postgraduate Fellowship from The World Academy of Sciences to continue his further phage research with colleagues in Pakistan on developing phages against Campylobacter.

Ms. Yayra Audrey Addablah (Universite Felix Houphouet-Boigny, Cote d'Ivoire) won the Ideas Matter Fellowship to support her research developing phages that could be used to kill bacteria in drinking water and on food processing surfaces.
