1. Excited to share details of compassionate use #phagetherapy cases at @ipath and lessons learnt from our 10 cases. @chngin_the_wrld @Darcy_ID_doc @lilhigal academic.oup.com/ofid/advance-a…

#ISHLT recently released a statement developed by members in #transplantation, #infectiousdiseases, and #pediatrics regarding the role of #vaccines in protecting the health and survival of 🫀 + 🫁 transplant candidates and recipients. 💉➡️📝 Read the full statement: 🔗 bit.ly/4mJcABW

Had a blast chatting with @JessicaSacher & Joseph Campbell @NIH about phages, UTIs, and clinical trials 🎙🦠 Tune in here 👉 youtu.be/W72GBEhGLQE?si…

@YGernhofer Congratulations!!

I’m incredibly grateful. To those who’ve supported my journey, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! ♥️ As I’ve promised, “wait for me, someday we’ll operate together again.”

@JessicaSacher Yes! Works wonders in non- immunosuppressed patients. I only do phage in this setting if already on vaginal estrogen in women and still having rUTI.

Wow just went down this rabbit hole (as I’ve been hearing about this a bunch lately). Many phage trials ongoing these days for UTIs — are people considering this? 👇

@Monash_Science @JeremyJBarr @AntonPeleg @NandoGordillo @SubDinesh @SBS Congrats!!

The Award for Research Engagement and Impact goes to the VICPhage team (@JeremyJBarr, @AntonPeleg, @NandoGordillo, @SubDinesh). Their impactful work was showcased in @SBS doco 'Last Chance to Save a Life' 👏👏 Learn more about the #MonashScienceAwards 👉monash.edu/science/awards

I am so proud of Dr. Shahid Husain who received the CST Education and Teaching Excellence Award 2024. I am truly honored to have learned under your guidance and mentorship. #CST @Dimakabbani @shahidh80523771

@MelinhL @Dimakabbani @shahidh80523771 Congratulations!! So well deserved!

@GinaSuhMD @esgnta @ESCMID @FerryLyon @rannirpaz1 @GHatfull @cleverwebber @PhageForward @DrGregGerman @Iredell_Lab Should be a great conference.. looking forward to it!

Excited to meet fellow phage enthusiasts!!

👋 it’s time 🕰️ to register to the @ESCMID #ESGNTA exclusive onsite workshop (no live webcast) entitled "State of the Art Clinical Evidence for the Use of Phage Therapy in Clinical Practice: the Pathways for Efficacy" that will take place in Lyon the 12-13th November 2024 ➡️ escmid.org/event-detail/s…! Download the updated program here ➡️ escmid.org/fileadmin/escm…, and register here ➡️ members.escmid.org/login?ReturnTo… to come and meet in person the world experts in the field of clinical #phage therapy 🤩 ! Such a honor for me to organize this incredible event and to make Lyon the world capital of #bacteriophage therapy during 2 days! We are ready to welcome you in 2 months 🔥! Do you know that Lyon is the city of Lights ✨? The Lyon city has a huge history and was called Lugdunum. It was an important Roman city, the capital of Gaul that was part of current Western Europe. Lyon has a rich architectural heritage through the centuries. The Festival of Lights (Fête des lumières) is celebrated every year on December 8 to mark the city's victory over the last plague epidemic, which ravaged the city and ended on December 8, 1852 (we don't know if natural #phages were involved as a player in such eradication!). It was particularly important for me to set up the course in a significant location and it will take place in the hangar of the 1st film 🎬, where the first movie 🎞️ in the story of cinema was recorded 🎥 by the brothers « Lumière » (Light ✨ in English), named Auguste and Louis Lumière. You will sit in a highly comfortable cinema seat and you have to know that you will be in the venue that welcome the annual International Lumiere Film Festival each year in October (institut-lumiere.org)! We are excited to welcome our hosts with @MCOCongres in particular fantastic conditions. Here are below some 📸 to share you the current atmosphere waiting you! I love ❤️ my city ✨ I love ❤️ my country 🇫🇷! So happy and excited to welcome the faculty and attendees here! Register and participate to the #phage history, an incredible ✨ film 🎥 that is still ongoing (we don’t know the end, but I think that we have together the ability to influence it)! Thanks 🙏 to all our partners @FondationHCL Vésale Bioscience @Jafral1 BiomX Inc @ATechnophage Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for their educational support! @OnlyLyon @villedelyon @CHUdeLyon @HCL_research @UnivLyon1 @InstitutLumiere @Inserm @CNRS @Sante_Gouv @esgnta 📸 Credits (1, 2: T.

Wow! Proposal to remove research requirement for HIV+ liver and kidney donors… this will increase access to transplant and reduce waitlist time for HIV+ candidates at any center in the US and not just at research centers. Data, outcome tracking remain important.

@TheTxIDjournal @StephaniePouch Congrats!

Congratulations to @StephaniePouch who will join @TheTxIDjournal as an Associate Editor starting early September. Stephanie has contributed greatly to the field of #TxID, particularly with her research on MDRO and advocacy for thoracic TID. So excited to have you join the team!

@MichaelGIsonMD This was a great learning experience with an amazing group of colleagues! Thank you for the opportunity and your mentorship @MichaelGIsonMD

Huge thanks to @DocSaimaAslam - you have been such a huge advocate for the journal and the field! Thanks for all you have done!

@BCMTailorLabs @TEPHI_Texas @MikeTisza @lauren_stadler Impressive! And congrats!

@DariaVanTyne Congrats!!

Just a little news to share…

We produced the clinical-grade product, “Entelli-02” as a front-line antimicrobial against Enterobacter infections at The Alfred Hospital. It’s safe, effective, and stable, with validated sterility and endotoxin levels, and minimal prophage contamination.

@JeremyJBarr This is amazing!! Congrats!!

Excited to share the latest research from our lab in bioRxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We present Entelli-02, which is a 5-member phage cocktail for the front-line treatment of Enterobacter cloacae complex infections. Work was led by Dinesh Subedi @SubDinesh @thebarrlab_aus

@mariannaalperin @LindseyABurnett @UCSD_ObGyn Congrats!
