We designed a free, self-paced training specifically for wet-lab #scientists who are ready to learn command line (bash).
Our new course, The Command Line for #Phage Biologists, assumes you do not know anything about terminal.

The Phage, in collaboration with the Quadram Institute, had an amazing opportunity to sit down with Dr Ryan Cook, a postdoctoral researcher and viral ecologist. Dr Cook shared fascinating insights into viral ecology

Researchers developed a new form of silver #nanoparticle (AgNP) that is substantially more effective against harmful #bacteria and even slows down the rate at which resistance forms. They used M13 as the biological template to grow these nanoparticles. thephage.xyz/2025/12/11/a-ne…

A study recently published in Nature Communications reveals that #phages in the #honeybee gut don’t just coexist with bacteria; they reflect them. When #bacterial diversity rises, so does viral diversity, forming a near-perfect microbial mirror.

I had an chat with @TheQuadram communication team about my life as a PHD-er and all things about science communication. Including in the article is the interview I had with @EvelienAdri on recent changes on phage Taxonomy.
🆕 Blog! PhD student Raphael chats to us about his passion for bacteriophages and science communication 🧪

A recent study published by scientists from Northwestern University uncovered hundreds of bacteriophages, from samples collected from toothbrushes and showerheads. There was little to no overlap in virus types between different toothbrushes and showerheads thephage.xyz/2024/10/14/over…

Bacteriophages in food safety
This mini-documentary offers a glimpse into how bacteriophages can be applied to food safety. Countries like the USA and others already have some FDA-approved products for food safety.
