In 2018, @dariavantyne started her phage therapy lab @PittTweet. She had 0 phages, just knew their biology & wanted to help patients. Today her lab makes phage for dozens of patients/year under compassionate use, while still publishing research. We asked Daria — HOW? 🧵 1/

Phages can save the AI people from being purely in silico…. Phage ppl can get benefit of all the AI powers being directed at solving PHAGES win win win? 🤩
Jessica Sacher, PhD@JessicaSacher

Closing the AI-to-lab loop is hard, especially if you want to test your WHOLE GENOME generator.. Viruses are the only genomes cheap enough to print en mass, but raise biosafety flags So @ArcInstitute chose phages! We went deep w/ @samuelhking & @driscoll_cl on how they did it:

What are people's favourite plate readers for bacterial growth kinetics assays? (We want it for high throughput phage killing assays, looking at area under the curve for bacteria grown over 18-20 h) Tecan Spark? Spectrostar Omega? Logphase 600?

A great honor to be part of this tremendous work! 🥳Congratulations to all the hardworking co-authors! This was a beautifukl topic to research and a great experience for me at Professor Tom Wood lab in Penn State ! 😁 @crypticprophage @Larvberg @MariadelMarTom
Cryptic Prophage (phage 🧬🪤 in 🦠)@crypticprophage

academic.oup.com/nar/article/53… We discovered a new, wide-spread phage defense system based on serine recombinase PinQ in E. coli cryptic prophage Qin that inverts 1,797 bp in another cryptic prophage, e14, to encode two chimeric proteins that block adsorption of T2 phage. @NAR_Open

We are nearing intelligence too cheap to meter, but for advancing life sciences we need experiments too cheap to meter. Scaling experiments with lab automation & autonomy and high-throughput assay development will be key
