At #Microbiotec25, @MJCCosta17 and Renato Mota shared their latest PhD results on broad-range P. aeruginosa phages and on early detection of P. larvae, respectively

At #Microbiotec25, @yallfavpipoca and Filipa Oliveira presented their latest results on the control and detection of K. pneumoniae and on the biorecognition of Listeria, respectively.

Then, @azeredo_joana was a keynote speaker and made a brilliant talk about the use of phages in Health Biotechnology

[Azeredo Lab @AzeredoLab]

Our group is very well represented at Microbiotec25.
First, @Oliveira_HAM talked about phage-based biocontrol of Erwinia amylovora

[Azeredo Lab @AzeredoLab]

Last couple of weeks, @Oliveira_HAM took part in a round table on biosolutions in the fruit sector, held during the Technical Conference on Pears and Apples in Portugal

P. aeruginosa biofilms challenge phage therapy in #cysticfibrosis. Evolving phage PE1 in biofilms improved adsorption and control, but biofilm heterogeneity remains a major hurdle.

Last week, @MartadcBarbosa and @MJCCosta17 were at the 4th BSVoM, sharing exciting updates from their PhD work!

[Azeredo Lab @AzeredoLab]

Our group was well represented at the 1st Phage Protein Meeting.
@MartaTGomes presented her latest PhD results on using phage early genes to combat A. baumannii.
@MartadcBarbosa and @MJCCosta17 also gave excellent poster presentations!

[Azeredo Lab @AzeredoLab]

Today, @GfAbreu shared some of his latest PhD research achievements on Erwinia phages at @PhageOxford — exciting developments in the world of phage-host interactions

Last week was our annual Phage Day — packed with adventure, games, and great company

[Azeredo Lab @AzeredoLab]

A very positive balance of our 1st international symposium on advances in phage therapy with 143 participants. Looking forward to the next edition

[Azeredo Lab @AzeredoLab]

And now, to discuss the future of phage therapy, we're having a round table with this great panel of experts

[Azeredo Lab @AzeredoLab]

The last presentation of our symposium is being provided by @BriersYves. He is introducing brilliantly the concept of digital phagograms

[Azeredo Lab @AzeredoLab]

Thomas Frank from Invitris, told us the latest update on cell-free phage production

[Azeredo Lab @AzeredoLab]

And after a great lunch, nothing better than listen to @MartinLoessner talking about reinventing phage therapy

[Azeredo Lab @AzeredoLab]

@azeredo_joana give an update on the status on the treatment of chronic infections using phages

[Azeredo Lab @AzeredoLab]

Krystyna Dabrowska opened session 4, proving some updates on the gut context on specific immune responses to phage therapy

[Azeredo Lab @AzeredoLab]

Today's last invited speaker is Alexander Sulakvelidze from Intralytix, who is talking about strategies to enhance phage preparations for different applications
