In the last few months we've had many exciting developments at Felix! Check out the thread below to learn more about #Phage #ClinicalTrials, to take a look at our research & #scicomm efforts, and to meet new members of the Felix Team. (1/6)
First up, in January we announced "CYPHY," a Phase 1/2 investigator-initiated single center trial @Yale for targeted #phagetherapy using our lead asset, YPT-01, in the treatment of chronic P. aeruginosa infections in #cysticfibrosis.

Next, in the last few months members of our team have been involved in a variety of research and #sciComm efforts. Co-founder @vivek_mutalik published work in @PLOSBiology focused on "high-throughput mapping of the phage resistance landscape": https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3000877 (3/6)
Our Co-Founder, @PaulTurnerLab, and #scicomm contractor @TyFordFever, published a piece in @Yale's @PsychToday focused on the challenges and potential of #phageTherapy: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-unseen-side-biotech/202011/our-phavorite-solution-phage (4/6)
In addition, our Co-Founders Paul Turner and Rob McBride discussed #AntibioticResistance on the @futuretech_fg podcast and #phagetherapy on the @Genialis podcast:

And last, but far from least, we've expanded our team! You can learn a little more about our new Head of Science, @Dr_Quest12 below and we'll introduce you to more members of the team in the weeks ahead. #Biotechnology #Career #Biotech (6/6)
