Our documentary 'Last Chance to Save a Life' premiers tomorrow on SBS on Demand!
Cannot wait to share this incredible story and journey from phage discovery to treating our first patient. See a sneak peek below

My latest article in collaboration with LCPME - UMR 7564 looking at somatic coliphages in urban wastewater was published in Water Research !

If you haven't read my latest paper on mammalian cells and bacteriophages it is still time!
Enjoy ;)

.Marion Bichet (@MonashUni, Australia) and colleagues found that #phage T4 can enhance growth and survival of mammalian cells, shedding light on the potential #symbiotic interactions between phages and their hosts.

What happens to a cell that internalizes bacteriophages? Marion Bichet The Barr lab found mammalian cells are internalizing bacteriophages as a resource to promote cellular growth and metabolism journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Interactions between #bacteriophage & mammalian hosts can facilitate diverse symbioses; Marion Bichet Jeremy J Barr &co show that mammalian cells internalize #phage , using them as a resource to enhance cellular growth & proliferation #PLOSBiology plos.io/49bc4Gu

Thank you so much! It means a lot!
#Shoutout to ALL #womeninSTEM 👩‍🔬 !

In the lead up to our Viruses of Microbes conference in Cairns, Australia next year, we're looking for sponsors looking to promote this rapidly growing field!

📢📢📢Postdocs of Paris🇫🇷! We're doing a new thing! Check us out and reach out if you'd like to participate as a host or a speaker, or just help us spread the word 🙏🏻
Big thanks to MAASCC INSTITUT PASTEUR for their support in this initiative

Our latest review led by PhD @Leo_Kan_ is out in Annual Reviews of Virology!
In this article, we provide a guide on how mammalian cells interact with, internalise, and traffic bacteriophage particles

NEW EPISODE OUT! 📢

In our 5th episode, we had an incredible conversation with Jeremy J Barr , a well-known Associate Professor at Monash University and the Head of Bacteriophage Biology Research Group.
🧵

The latest work from our lab where we conduct the largest experimental validation of gut phages to date!

This included >2000 anaerobic incubations, >900 viral DNA extractions, and >400 genomes seq. This work was led by our PhD grad Sofia Dahlman

Our lab alumni Fer—wait for it—nando is featured in this brilliant Science Vs episode that tackles Superbugs and the use of phages to combat them!

Lab work is now boring, bring on phages in VR!

Thank you New England Biolabs for the lab Lego set!
All my lab mates are extremely jalouse now 🤩
