During my PhD, @milja001 and I started counting phage genomes, and tried to make them available in useful formats with useful metadata. We also described the extent of sequenced phage genomes at the time. Five years on, we've had a look at what's changed

Very excited to invite all #phage #protein enthusiasts to The Phage Protein Meeting taking place on September 10-11, 2025 in #Ghent Belgium, an interdisciplinary conference dedicated to advancing the field of phage proteins for infection control.

The lab is now up and running at New England Biolabs @NEBiolabs! I'm looking for a postdoc to study phage defence systems. If you'd like the academic freedom to publish but the resources of industry, then take a look 🤓😃 neb.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NEB_Care…

📢 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.

Congratulations to Stephen Thompson (PhD), @hormoyhemmy (PhD), Lesley Hoyles and @WinterJody on their preprint combining transcriptomic (RNAseq) and phenotypic work to show the effects of menadione on Helicobacter pylori.

Check our latest preprint! We've doubled the number of known weberviruses (phages of Klebsiella) and taken a bit of a deep dive into their genomes to better characterise the genus.
New preprint out from @SamJTDMicro (PhD), @SaraGarnettx (MRes), @fiona_newberry (post-doc), @dp_negus and Lesley Hoyles.
COVID lockdown meant Sam needed to change the focus of his PhD for a while. This is the result. Isolated phages and MAGs --> 2x number of known weberviruses.
