Gladstone's Center for PhAIge Therapy, led by @seth-shipman.bsky.social, will apply an engineering & deep learning framework to phage–bacteria interactions, breaking phages into modular parts to predict their behavior. 4/
NIAID committed $6M in FY2026 across the program — up to $1.2M in direct costs per center, per year, for up to 5 years.
Three centers, one network: shared assays, reference materials & data, toward reproducible, regulator-ready phage science.
Excited to be a part of this! 🚀 6/
Our ‘Phage Pharm’, led by @pbollyky.bsky.social at @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social, will take on a major gap keeping phage therapy from the clinic: how do you optimally dose & deliver phages?
We’ll pair nuclear medicine imaging w/ cell & animal models, starting w/ P. aeruginosa in CF. 2/
