Pittsburgh Phage Program

Meet the Pittsburgh Phage Program (P3)! Our new video takes you behind the scenes—from patient isolates and phage research in the lab to the physicians and patients at the center of clinical care! #PhageTherapy #Bacteriophage #P3 #pittsburghphageprogram

📢 Join ASM Health on Oct. 27 at 9:30 a.m. ET for a webinar on advancing patient access to phage therapy and the proposed Phage Therapy Coordination Platform. Learn about efforts to improve coordination, phage matching & clinical implementation. Register: asm.org/webinars/adv...

The Phage Therapy Coordination Network (PTCN) is recruiting clinicians/researchers for its Clinical Use Guidance Working Group to help advance the safe and effective clinical use of phage in the U.S! Apply by August 31: [https://asm.secure-platform.com/a/solicitations/310/home] #PhageTherapy #AMR

And last but not least, a MiniReview about phage therapy co-authored by many of us @pghphageprogram.bsky.social was published today in mBio journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Big news for phage therapy! NIAID has funded the first coordinated U.S. research network dedicated to advancing phage therapeutics against antibiotic-resistant infections. We're proud to be part of this national effort. Read more: dom.pitt.edu/nih-funds-fi... #PhageTherapy #PittsburghPhageProgram

Drug-resistant infections are rising—and we need new solutions. Phage therapy uses viruses that target & kill harmful bacteria with precision 🦠 At P3, we’re bringing this innovation to patients who need it most. 🔗 www.futureofpersonalhealth.com/infectious-d... #pittsburghphageprogram #phagetherapy

Excited to see @dariavantyne.bsky.social and Van Tyne Lab featured on the Podovirus Podcast! Great conversation on how translational phage work actually gets done. 🧫 Check out the links below for the full story! #pittsburghphageprogram #p3 #phages #infectiousdiseases #phagetherapy

Pittsburgh Phage Program — 2025 Wrapped! To our patients, clinicians, researches, regulators, and partners— this work doesn’t happen without you. We screened, treated, delivered, learned—and even laid the groundwork for a 2026 trial! #pittsburghphageprogram #phagetherapy #P3

Nearly 300 patients screened for phage susceptibility ✅ 50+ FDA-approved treatments and counting ✅ Phage therapy is making a difference — and we’re just getting started. #pittsburghphageprogram #phagetherapy #P3

We’re continuing our Meet the Team series with Dr. @madisonstellfox.bsky.social, a research physician working at the intersection of care and discovery. Her clinical expertise helps ensure phage therapy reaches the patients who need it most! #PhageTherapy #PittsburghPhageProgram

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation spotlighted our AchromoPhage trial in their March newsletter! We're proud to be part of the effort to bring phage therapy to patients with chronic CF infections. Learn more about clinical action in CF: www.cff.org/research-cli... #pittsburghphageprogram #phagetherapy

We’re continuing our Meet the Team series with Kailey Hughes Kramer, whose work in regulatory affairs helps ensure phage therapy is delivered safely, ethically, and with patient access at the forefront! #PhageTherapy #PittsburghPhageProgram #InfectiousDiseases #PrecisionMedicine

Big shoutout to @olayarendueles.bsky.social @julielebris.bsky.social , @nathaliechen.bsky.social, @dariavantyne.bsky.social and Adeline Supandy—such an awesome team effort from the #VanTyneLab at Pitt! 💫 Great to see phage work move forward together! #PittsburghPhageProgram

🔬 The spotlight continues! We’re excited to introduce the next incredible member of the #PittsburghPhageProgram team — meet Dr. @dariavantyne.bsky.social, whose work is helping push the boundaries of what’s possible in #phagetherapy. #InfectiousDiseases #P3 #VanTyneLab

🦠 From Kitchen Penicillin to Precision Phages — Pittsburgh’s Legacy of Fighting Infection. Read more about how the P3 is continuing this legacy by developing personalized treatments —all from right here in Pittsburgh. #PhageTherapy #InfectiousDiseases #P3 #VanTyneLab #PittsburghPhageProgram

Behind every patient story, every discovery, and every #phage, there’s a dedicated team making it happen. Over the next few weeks, we’re excited to introduce the people who power the #PittsburghPhageProgram — starting with Dr. Ghady Haidar.🧫✨

Shoutout to @dariavantyne.bsky.social, our Head of Phage Biology and Discovery, for her leadership in #phagetherapy. P3's latest clinical impact was given the spotlight in Contagion Live! Read more on how phage therapy is transforming treatment options: 🔗 tinyurl.com/Contagion-Live

👋 We're the Pittsburgh Phage Program (P3)! Based at Pitt, we advance precision medicine using phages—viruses that kill bacteria. We fight antibiotic resistance through compassionate use & clinical trials. Follow for 🔬research, 💡phage facts, 📢success stories! #PhageTherapy #P3
