Delbrück, Luria and Hershey shared the 1969 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries concerning the replication mechanism and genetic structure of viruses -work that used bacteriophages to reveal fundamental principles of genetics. #WorldPhageDay #WorldPhageWeek #AgeofthePhage #Phagesky

already coordinates phage matching for compassionate use - and is actively working toward establishing Canada’s first dedicated Phage Therapy Treatment Centre.

Happy @UnitedNationsDay from @AgeofthePhage, creator of #WorldPhageWeek 22-24 October!
On UN Day we celebrate global cooperation. The 2024 UNGA High-Level Meeting on AMR (Political Declaration A/RES/79/2) set clear targets, including reducing AMR-related deaths by 10% by 2030.

Phages + global political will = a stronger response to AMR.
