Industry leaders in bacteriophage therapy development are set to gather in Boston this February for the premier global platform focused on advancing phage-based therapeutics. The Bacteriophage Therapy Summit will bring together key stakeholders from major pharmaceutical companies and biotech firms to address critical challenges in bringing phage therapies to market.
The three-day conference will feature presentations from 18+ expert speakers representing industry giants and innovative biotech companies, including Merck, Pfizer, SNIPR Biome, and Locus Biosciences. The AMR Action Fund will also participate, highlighting the growing importance of bacteriophage therapy in combating antimicrobial resistance.
Clinical Translation and Bioinformatics Focus
A primary focus of the summit will be navigating the complexities of clinical translation in phage therapy development. Sessions will explore innovative approaches to overcome current challenges in bringing these novel therapeutics from laboratory to clinical application.
The summit will also dedicate significant attention to the role of bioinformatics in advancing phage therapy. Discussions will center on improving sequencing methodologies and optimizing data processing techniques to enhance therapeutic development and clinical outcomes.
Industry Collaboration and Partnership Opportunities
The event is expected to draw more than 90 senior-level participants, including Chief Executive Officers, Vice Presidents, Directors, and Senior Scientists specializing in bacteriophage research, microbiome therapeutics, and infectious diseases. This gathering presents a unique opportunity for stakeholders to form strategic partnerships and advance the field of phage therapy.
Advancing AMR Solutions
With antimicrobial resistance posing an increasing global health threat, the summit aims to accelerate the development of effective phage-based alternatives to traditional antibiotics. Participants will share insights on demonstrating clinical utility and establishing regulatory pathways for these innovative therapeutic approaches.
