Phage hunting
Outreach
A place to discuss science, share work, and find mentors and collaborators
The Nobrega lab at the University of Southampton has launched phagecollection.org, the home of their new initiative to unite citizen scientists searching for phages to combat bacterial infections. They aim to educate the public about AMR and phages, collect clinical isolates and phages, and engage UK policymakers to support phage research and availability as a last resort medicine.
