Phage Australia - Connect. Discover. Cure

The leadership team @PhageAustralia submitted a written document to the UK Parliament Inquiry on "The #antimicrobial potential of #bacteriophages" Our reflection is published here: phageaustralia.org/blog/antimicro… @Iredell_Lab @stephen_stick @warnmorgs @AntonPeleg @syctong @stephh_lynch

🌍🦠 To celebrate #WAAW2024, I'm excited to share a few highlights from last week: 🚀 @PhageAustralia, @WestmeadInst achieved the quickest phage product delivery yet, helping our youngest patient to date! (1/4)

This week was the 1st publication using our immune cell sequencing to accurately make medical diagnoses. It has enormous implications, as I've reviewed here (link in profile). @ScienceMagazine @ScottBoydLab @zazius @anshulkundaje

🎶 With weeks to live, musician Paul Laszlo found hope in cutting-edge #phagetherapy, @Iredell_Lab successfully treating a severe chest infection. Thanks to innovative research, he's now thriving and back on stage! 💪✨ Read his inspiring story: medicalresearch.nsw.gov.au/how-phage-ther…

On December 11 we will be discussing the potential of #bacteriophages in fighting #AMR in the @EuropeanParl at an event kindly hosted by @woelken MEP. You can follow the debate online- more info on our website: phageurope.eu/2024/11/27/upc…

Still time to apply for travel awards to attends CRISPR 2025 in NZ

This is amazing news... Let's get this moving all throughout Europe

📢 Historic day for Portugal and phage therapy! 🇵🇹 A framework was approved, allowing magistral preparation of personalized phage products. 🙌 Grateful to Jean-Paul Pirnay, my group @AzeredoLab Portuguese patients, and doctors who signed a petition inspired by the Belgium model.

Wonderful news from @azeredo_joana. The magistral personalized phage therapy framework will now be approved in #Portugal. Great collaborative work #Belgium 🇧🇪 and #Portugal 🇵🇹 to help patients. We hope more countries will push to adopt this. @PaulPirnay @AzeredoLab

One of the major problems facing humanity is the inability to treat bacteria that make us sick. Prof @MarthaClokie and her Centre for Phage Research team are studying bacteriophages to combat this growing issue. #CitizensOfChange | #AMRAwarenessWeek | #AMR | @Leicester_Phage
