About Phage Consultants

Phage Consultants is a contract research and manufacturing organization that specializes in bacteriophage detection, characterization and production.

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacteria. First discovered around 1915, phages played an important role in understanding viral biology, for example in elucidating viral reproduction in lytic and lysogenic cycles. They have been used for almost a century as alternatives to antibiotics and can have therapeutic effect against multi-drug-resistant strains of many bacteria.

Founded in Gdansk, Poland, in 2007, PC has become a world leader in using the power of bacteriophage technology in bioprocess infection and contamination control and assisting companies whose production is based on microbial activities in preventing bacteriophage contamination, along with bacterial, fungal and viral contaminations.

Phage Consultants is also a team specialist in the field of bacteriophage biology with specific expertise in phage activity in bioprocesses. The team provides unique assistance to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, offering a range of services from personal training to consulting and process optimization in phage growth limitation.

About Microbiome Connect 2021

The Microbiome Connect series of conferences provide virtual showcases for the latest research and innovation in the gut therapeutics field.

Originally scheduled as a physical meeting, Microbiome Connect Gut Therapeutics Europe 2021 has been repurposed as a two-day online virtual event opening December 7, 2021. The conference will still focus on emerging challenges in both R&D and manufacturing.

The event’s R&D stream will examine the gut-brain axis and solutions to clinical progression, commercialization, and research result utilization, with contributions from Nestle, the University of Luxembourg, and others on responses to development challenges. The manufacturing stream will help identify the right CDMO partners for cost-effective collaborations, taking account of manufacturing and standardization differences and sharing latest insights on regulations in Europe and North America.

The event is organized by Kiasco Research with further information at:
