Today, we teamed up with Exeter Science Centre and visited St James School to talk about phage therapy with Year 9. The students brought in samples for us to process to look for phages. We rushed the samples back to the lab so Christian and James could start the phage hunt!

Life finds a way. Check our new preprint about the evolutionary repair of a block in an essential metabolic pathway of E. coli through protein mutations and leakage of a shielded metabolic intermediate. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The Opentrons robots are up and running in the Citizen Phage Library. We are developing open-source protocols to increase phage discovery throughput

Calling all #PhageHunters to celebrate the 4th #WorldPhageWeek 22-28 Oct #WorldPhageDay 22 Oct Help promote the #phage #bacteriophage to the global community. #Phages are no longer overlooked, languishing in the shadows. Love the Phage!

Thanks to Torquay Museum for hosting us today for a talk about antibiotic resistance and phage therapy! Some great questions and lots of sampling kits were given out,

Did you know that phages can be isolated from your own backyard? 🧫🔎 See how a Year 10 student visiting The Westmead Institute for Medical Research and I (Stephanie Lynch, PhD) are using the citizenphage.com process to get from environmental samples (right) to hopefully isolated phages (left)🧵

Citizen Phage Hunters - thanks to your efforts, we got a mention in the @CommonsSTC meeting today. Fingers crossed we get a route for treating UK compassionate cases with CPL phages, and for getting phages into clinical trials for broader use!

Exciting Day! Our first batch of phages being shipped to Phage Australia - Connect. Discover. Cure for use in their efforts to treat patients. The CPL was conceived as an international network of connected hubs sharing resources and data. Great to see this first step come to fruition!
