We need to learn more from producers, Industry-tailored research is way to go to ensure our research is meaningful and applicable

Today I was asked by a producer how do we know when our chicken get sick and needs to given with phage to prevent them to get sick? Although I got the question answered, I feel there’s lots of gap needs to fill up for implementing phages to the industry .

@milja001 @Leicester_Phage Very cool!

Work we are doing in @Leicester_Phage Also to avoid confusion. That is not a picture of me 😁

It was incredible busy summer for us, so glad to have 3 bright undergrads Anna, Paige, Katie to assist us, all the best to the new semester! Also big shout out to my senior trainees Jenny, Yiran, Marwa and Sidra who did most training and mentoring. Thanks all

@VirusOfMicrobes @GuelPHage_lab Beautiful phages
