Phage Futures Europe – 25-26th September, Belgium

Hi all,
I wanted to post a quick update to promote the upcoming Phage Futures Europe meeting, which will be held in Belgium from 25th-26th of September, 2019. The conference follows on from the very successful Phage Futures Congress held in Washington D.C. earlier this year and brings together academics, start-ups and pharma to discuss how to translate phage therapies. The organiser have kindly offered SIG members an extra 10% off  with the code – SIG10 – early bird registration ends this week.




Join us Sept. 25-26, 2019 in Brussels, Belgium at Phage Futures Europe! The congress brings together peers from pharma and biotech companies alongside academia and experts from key regulatory bodies to discuss how to actively translate phage-based applications into viable therapeutics. Hear the latest on regulatory perceptions, investment and industry drivers, preclinical data and more. The agenda is now up, registration is open, and early bird pricing lasts until June 15. Use discount code SIG10 for an extra 10% off!



I will be attending this meeting and will provide an update on research, topics and discussions to SIG members. If anyone else is planning on attending please let me know,

Cheers,
Jeremy

Viruses of Microbes 2024 - Cairns, Australia!

 Hi Everyone, We are excited to announce that the Viruses of Microbes 2024 meeting will be held in Cairns, Australia! Being situated on the shores of the Great Barrier Reef and surrounded by the oldest rainforest on Earth, Cairns will host a truly unique VoM experience. This also marks the first time that the VoM conference series will take place outside of Europe and will be an excellent opportunity to promote Australian phage research. The theme for VoM 2024 will be 'Expanding our viral frontiers', which references both the expansion of the VoM conference series to Australia and a focus on the next frontiers for viruses of microbes research.  Our organising committee so far is led by Dr. Jeremy J. Barr as conference convenor (Monash University), along with A/Prof. Ruby CY Lin (Westmead Institute), Dr. Lucy Furfaro (University of Western Australia), Dr. Karen Weynberg (The University of Queensland), Dr. Paul Jaschke (Macquire University) and Prof. Jon Iredell (Westmead Institu

The position is available of a 6-month full-time basis or a 1-year part-time basis. Further details are available by contacting Dr. Karen Weynberh at k.weynberg@uq.edu.au

New home for Bacteriophage SIG

  Hi everyone, I just wanted to make a quick post to update you all on a few new SIG goals and directions for '21 and '22. We will be transitioning away from our SIG blog site ( Bacteriophage Biology & Therapeutics SIG ) and moving onto the ASM communities platform ( Login - Australian Society for Microbiology ). I would like to encourage everyone to sign up for an account on ASM communities, to join the Bacteriophage community, and select receive notifications for any posts made. We will continue to post updates on our blog site in the meanwhile, but the long term plan is to transition our SIG communication to ASM communities and quarterly email updates. In other news, we are planning some PhD and ECR focused Bacteriophage SIG events for '22. We will have more news in the coming months, but if you could let any interested students and phage researchers know about this that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,
