New episode out! 🎙️
In our conversation with @PaulTurnerLab , Professor at Yale University, we covered his research on phage evolution and how he has applied his findings to treat Cystic fibrosis patients against MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa with phage therapy.

Did you guys already catch up with episodes from the last months?
We brought a 2-parts interview with @PaulPirnay covering 100 cases of Phage Therapy in Belgium, and also talked to @LoreCorsini about #phagomed and the problem with aureus phages in plasma.
Episodes & papers below:
I am doing my PhD defense 29th of February at 5pm (GMT+1). For those of you who want to join in real time or online don’t hesitate to contact me and I will send you the invitation or link! Hope to see you there!

Reports of military incursion into Al-Shifa hospital are deeply concerning.
We’ve lost touch again with health personnel at the hospital.
We’re extremely worried for their and their patients’ safety.

Onze tolk trok gisteren met zijn camera naar Gaza-stad. Hij spoorde er de Vlaams-Palestijnse Fatena op: "Alles rond ons wordt gebombardeerd."
Wanted to take a phage home from Georgia but was afraid it wouldnt stay at a 4 degree cold chain so went for a permanent one 😂! #phages
