Introducing #Phage-Tablets: a game-changing platform for rapid, high-throughput phage storage, transport, and screening! Great collaboration with Zeinab Hosseinidoust 🇨🇦! #superbugs #AMR #biotech nature.com/articles/s4146… NSERC / CRSNG CIHR McMaster IIDR McMaster University McMaster Engineering

We have been relying on the same basic tools and laborious lab techniques to handle and screen phages that our predecessors were using over 100 years ago when phages were first discovered. To realize the promise of phage therapy, we need disruptive innovation.

Phage therapy is in need of transformative technologies to enhance accessibility. This is what we aim to do with our phage tablets. The phage tablets adress a real need and could be a game changer in phage therapy and beyond. nature.com/articles/s4146… Nature Communications Nature Portfolio
