Fewer new therapeutics fit drug regulations these days. Pharma's pulling out of most, so it's up to biotech. But how do you survive as a small biotech when regulators don't know where you fit? We asked Dr. Steven Theriault, gov scientist-turned-CEO of Cytophage Technologies Ltd.👇

Nathan Novy (UW–Madison) and colleagues published a new paper on multiobjective learning and design of #phage specificity, showing deep learning can enhance T7 phage infectivity and specificity toward diverse bacterial strains. buff.ly/bzcnyRE

Tianjing She (Nanjing Agricultural University) and colleagues published a new paper on #phage-mediated gene transfer in Salmonella, showing horizontal transfer of virulence genes in Salmonella enterica with regulatory feedback from the host. buff.ly/ZRoIyID

.Peter Turnbaugh (UC San Francisco) is hiring a Junior/Assistant/Associate/Full Specialist, to study human gut microbiome impact on disease treatment & engineer #phages for microbiome manipulation. It involves microbiology, molecular biology techniques, & lab management buff.ly/Uoke8dc

.@Roybal_Lab at UC San Francisco School of Medicine is hiring a Junior/Assistant/Associate/Full Specialist, to study synthetic biology and immune cell editing using viral and non-viral techniques, and develop new #CRISPR-Cas tools for microbes. buff.ly/Bgf2jc6

A much awaited regulatory guidance document! The UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has announced new guidance for developing #phage therapies in the UK. buff.ly/Ahep5gn

.Alexander Harms was interviewed on the PhageCast podcast about the Basel Phage Collection, basic science insights from E. coli #phages, and how these findings can predict phage traits. buff.ly/g8PvF4x

Tolka AI Therapeutics has announced expanded access to patient-tailored #phagetherapy for M. abscessus infections. They’re screening patients at five institutions for compassionate use where standard antibiotics have failed. buff.ly/pWu1fZZ

.Atif Khan and Hiren Joshi (Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, India) published a new research paper on selectively enriching and characterizing stress-tolerant #phages for food biocontrol. buff.ly/IjY1WPR

#𝘚𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 outbreak tied to eggs makes dozens sick across 7 states in the West and Midwest. Cytophage works on advancing key #phage products that can aid in decreasing pathogenic bacteria in our food systems. 🦠cbsnews.com/news/salmonell… #bacteria #foodsafety #biotech

Had a fantastic time at the first Danish Viruses of Microbes meeting! Great to see all the cutting-edge phage research in the Nordics. Honored to present RBPseg + the tail fiber structural atlas. Thanks for the great questions & feedback! #DKVoM25 #Phages

Bradley Cook (Cytophage Technologies Ltd.) & Alexander Hynes (McMaster University) published a paper on re-evaluating #phagetherapy criteria. They examine 3 common criteria for excluding #phages: lack of virulence/antibiotic resistance, inability to transduce, & being strictly lytic buff.ly/fGEqgec

Eleanor Rand (Harvard Medical School) et al published a paper on targeted #phage discovery method Phage DisCo. Using isogenic, fluorescently tagged bacteria they rapidly identify phages w/ specific infection traits streamlining targeted isolation from complex samples buff.ly/XwkrM4n

.Fraunhofer ITMP in Munich, Germany is hiring a #PhD student / researcher in protein engineering to produce, test, and optimize #phage-derived binding proteins against pathogenic bacteria. buff.ly/jKgC1so

Come and visit our poster P06 during the poster sessions at 1st International Symposium on Advances in Phage Therapeutics Azeredo Lab 😊 Our colleague Marco Pardo-Freire will be presenting our phage collection for M. Abscessus and all his work for expanding the host range!

.World Health Organization (WHO) published a new report on #phagetherapy evidence, showing #phages can enhance antibiotic treatments against resistant bacteria as part of a One Health approach. buff.ly/qKFXD4z
