Scientific Understanding, Clinical Translation, and Training and Education
The Center for Phage Biology & Therapy has informally existed at Yale since 2016, when the center treated its first case of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa with phage OMKO1. Since then, the center’s team has treated numerous infections with phage therapy, including prosthetic joint infections, lung infections, and even a sick sea turtle.
Over the years, the Center has been formally established with the generous funding of Yale University and philanthropic contributions from individuals who share a vision for phage therapy.
