THERAPEUTIC PHAGES: PREPARATIONS AND USE
Fabrice PIROT and Frédéric LAURENT (Hospices Civils de Lyon, FRA), Camille KOLENDA (Inserm U1111, FRA), Gregory RESCH (Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois, CHE), Luis MELO (University of Minho, PRT) and Raphaël LAURENCEAU (Institut Pasteur, FRA)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS & EUROPEAN EXPERIENCES
Charlotte BRIVES (CNRS UMR 5116, FRA), Mzia KUTATELADZE (G. Eliava Institute of Bacteriophages, Microbiology and Virology, GEO), Jean-Paul PIRNAY (Hôpital militaire Reine Astrid, BEL) and Alexandre BLEIBTREU (APHP, FRA)

BACTERIOPHAGES IN ECOSYSTEMS

PHASE II – TECHNICAL WORKSHOP
June 3-7, 2024 – Lyon

The technical part will introduce participants to the key steps of natural phage isolation, phage training, genetic analysis of phages, phage titration, and phage susceptibility testing. Participants will be initiated to the practical aspects of therapeutic phage production, purification, CQs, and pharmaceutical packaging. The technical part will end with a simulation of a phage laboratory set-up where a patient’s strain is received and the steps for a magistral preparation of a phage cocktail are implemented before human administration.

SELECTION: 8-12 trainees will be selected among Phase I participants.
