Who we are
The Phage Hunters Training & Research Program is an integrated initiative designed to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by advancing phage research, revitalizing science education, and driving policy change under a One Health framework. Our program interweaves a robust internal ecosystem with a wide external network of stakeholders, ensuring that every facet—from training and research to advocacy—works together to transform academic insights into practical solutions.
Our Mission
To inspire, educate, and empower the next generation of scientists to pursue phage research, addressing the urgent need for novel therapeutics in the fight against antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens.
Our Vision
A world where phage research is at the forefront of combating antibiotic resistance, driven by a global community of innovative scientists committed to discovering and developing life-saving therapeutics.
Operational Dockets
Advocacy
- Focus: Outreach, public awareness, and policy influence.
- Collaboration: Leverages high-quality research outputs from the Journal Club.
Training & Research
- Focus: Organizes workshops, internships, and research projects (e.g., phage isolation, comparative genomics, phage engineering).
- Management: Maintains a participant database for tracking training, workshop attendance, and project engagement.
Journal Club (JC)
- Focus: Mentorship, critical appraisal, and scientific writing support.
- Output: Produces review writeups and systematic reviews, which are shared both internally and externally.
