Phage Consultants returning to BIO World Congress
Gdansk, Poland: – Specialist CRO Phage Consultants will once again bring its advanced bacteriophage expertise to the 2017 BIO World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology, a landmark event for the biotech industry.
PC will also be an exhibitor at the event with its stand at Booth 425 at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal., where CEO and founder, Dr. Marcin Los, will be on hand to talk to visitors.
This is a return to the Biotech World Congress for Phage Consultants, which has attended the event every year since 2008.
Bacteriophage technologies
The Phage Consultants stand will also show a wide range of its bacteriophage-based solutions for safeguarding sensitive biotech processes, biological reactions and fermentations, focusing in particular on keeping bacterial fermentations free from bacteriophage contamination.
Dr. Los will also use the congress’s ONE-on-ONE™ Partnering facility to explain more about Phage Consultants’ bacteriophage contamination and microbial detection tools and its troubleshooting and prevention capabilities.
10 years of phage leadership
“As we celebrate our 10th Anniversary, it feels great to be heading back to the BIO World Congress, which is an event we have attended almost every year since our founding,” commented Dr. Los.
“Once again, we welcome this great opportunity to share knowledge with fermentation managers and biological production teams to show how our bacteriophage-based solutions can be applied to decontaminate any industrial bioprocess and isolate it from a whole range of bacterial threats, with bacteriophage mixes that can be customized to any particular application,” he commented.
About Phage Consultants
Phage Consultants is a contract research and manufacturing organization that specializes in bacteriophage detection and characterization and production.
Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacteria. First discovered around 1915, phages play an important role in viral biology, used to elucidate DNA viral reproduction through 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 have become world leaders 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 are also specialists in the field of bacteriophage biology with specific expertise on phage activity in bioprocessing. Its 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. The company also advises and assists clients in the development of new production facilities.
