Save the date – Bacteriophage Symposium, Melbourne, 30th March, 2020


Hi everyone,
Happy New Years, I hope you all had a great break. I wanted to make a quick post to invite you all to attend a Bacteriophage Symposium that we will be hosting in Melbourne on the 30th March, 2020.

The Symposium will have a strong focus on phage therapy and its clinical translation, but will also have a talks on bacterial pathogenesis, fundamental phage biology and antibiotic resistance.

We are also pleased to announce that the Symposium will have plenary presentations from Prof. Robert 'Chip' Schooley and A/Prof. Saima Aslam from the Center for Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics (iPATH), at the University California, San Diego. We will also have a number of invited speakers from Australia, as well as a panel discussion that will broach phage therapy, its  challenges and potential in combating the antimicrobial resistance.

The Symposium will be free of charge, although attendees will be required to register for venue and catering purposes. We'd encourage you all to consider attending and to please share the event with any students, colleagues or other interested parties.

We aim to have more information and a schedule available towards the end of January.

Any questions please contact me: jeremy.barr@monash.edu

Cheers,
Jeremy

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,
