We start with an introduction to Célia and her research environment, before moving into a detailed discussion of her recent work using a VersaTile engineering approach to reprogram the specificity of R2-type tailocins.

In today’s episode of Phagecast, we interview @CliaPas1, to dive deep into the world of tailocins and how they can be engineered as highly specific antibacterial tools. Do bacteriophages get inactivated by the complement system, or can both act together against bacteria?

Not too late to be celebrated! 🎉 One day during WAAW 2025, I woke up to a notification that I had been featured on the 783.5 m² screen at Piccadilly Lights in Piccadilly Circus, London (Marcel in a blue suit). Special thanks to @FlemingCentre & @imperialcollege 🙏

In our latest PhageBites episode, we talk with Carmen Chen. She walks us through her recent paper, “Antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii can be killed by a combination of bacteriophages and complement”, and explains how phages interact with the human complement system.
