@Alsafadi_HN I’m so sorry your family was taken away from you Hani. May memories of happier times bring you strength.

I was happy to present our models for improving the sucess of phage therapy at #FEMS2023! What a great community! Hope to see everyone in 2025 in Milan!

Great lecture yesterday by @JeremyJBarr @crc1371. Amazing research looking at the adaptive mechanisms in the tripartite symbiosis of phages, bacteria, and epithelial cells, on a #GutOnAChip model. New #phagetherapy clinical options for the fight of #AntibioticResistance

@DWagnerLab @martina_des Congratulations 🤩
