The 5th edition of the Hanson Wade Bacteriophage Therapy Summit will be held as a Virtual summit from Tuesday 21st February till Thursday 23rd February 2023.
What is the 5th Bacteriophage Therapy Summit and Why attend?
Focusing on the A-Z of phage development, the definitive commercial-orientated conference is focusing on the acceleration of phage-based applications for organizations pioneering with phage pipelines.
The 5th edition of the Bacteriophage Therapy Summit returns as the global industry forum delivering maturing drug development expertise and investment to phage-based therapies, to better understand in-human stability and advance in clinical benefit. For 3 days, over 20 experts speakers from across the globe from a diversity of fields will gather to gain comprehensive and actionable insights into phage-based therapies and drug development. Discussions how to formulate, manufacture and regulate phage cocktails into successful phage therapies and gain valuable insights on the recent clinical advancements from industry leaders. Understand improved susceptibility testing and how CRISPR-based phage therapies can increase probability of success. This is exclusively an event for biopharma, clinicians and consumer product developers to harness the safety and efficacy of phages.
