The 7th World Conference on Targeting Phage Therapy 2024 is set to take place on June 20-21 at the Corinthia Palace Malta, introducing the latest advancements within the field of phage research and therapy.
Robert T. Schooley, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Diego, and Co-Director of the Center for Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics, will lead the discourse, presenting insights and strategies essential to Phage Therapy in his talk titled "Phage Therapeutics 2024: Essential Translational Research Components for Clinical Trials."
Agenda at a Glance
Day One: will focus on Phages, Hosts & Microbiome, exploring current research on phageome, microbiome-phageome interactions, and the role of phages in various dysbiosis conditions. It will also shed light on emerging trends and innovative approaches in phage therapy, covering topics such as combating phage resistance, synthetic phages, and designing clinical studies.
Day Two: will feature sessions on the transition of phage research to clinical applications and a review of ethical and regulatory considerations in phage therapy.
