Bacteriophage Lab of Institut Pasteur
@phagepasteur.bsky.social
Our team is studying bacteriophages that are viruses infecting bacteria. Since 2006, Laurent Debarbieux has reignited a research lab about phage therapy following the pionnering work of Félix d'Herelle started in early 20th century.

We believe this face will be familiar to the #phage community in here
The BBH lab is quite pleased to be hosting Jeremy Barr (@jeremyjbarr.bsky.social), from Monash University, for the upcoming months.
We were off to a good start with his presentation on gut #microbiome last week @pasteur.fr

2026 seemed to be the summer of #phage in the press 🎥 and we've been happy to participate
This is a good way to get the message out there about phage #therapy and we're definitely noticing increased interest
The Boss is scheduled for a couple more of these interviews. We'll keep you posted 😎

Filipa Vale (IMED) and Alexander Harms (@ethz.ch) came by last week and we had some great discussions on all things #prophage and #phage
It's not every week you have not one but TWO great scientists visiting you, so we had to celebrate with a nice apéro
Hope to have you guys here more often!!

We took a road trip yesterday to @inrae-france.bsky.social and had a pretty fun time sharing with our collaborators over there
Despite having worked together for a while, some of us couldn't put faces to names over there, so it was a great opportunity to share with them
Thanks for hosting us!

Once again, sharing part of the discussion that we had at the BBH about an interesting paper
This time, it was this work performed at US San Diego about antibiotic/phage interaction in a single patient
If you're interested, we've got a thread for you!! 🧵
