About the role

The post-holder will be based within the Becky Mayer Centre for Phage Research at the University of Leicester.

With the rise of antimicrobial resistance, novel treatments are desperately needed. Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that attack bacterial cells and offer the potential as therapeutics to treat pathogenic bacterial infections.

Your role will be to establish and optimise the pipeline for scalable phage production to produce high quality and high titre phage. You will work collaboratively with researchers in industry and academia, and independently as part of a research team to achieve defined milestones and produce high quality research as part of the wider programme.

About you

You will hold (or be close to completing) a PhD in a relevant discipline and bring hands-on experience of scaling up microbial product production, ideally including viruses or protein complexes. Your knowledge of GMP processes, coupled with your ability to problem-solve and work both independently and within a team, will be essential. You should also have a solid track record of producing high-quality research outputs and be enthusiastic about contributing to impactful translational science.

History Part 12 : Post-War Stagnation and Phage Therapy’s Marginalization in the West (1945–1980s)

Image
Post-War Stagnation and Phage Therapy’s Marginalization in the West (1945–1980s) The period following World War II marked a decisive turning point in the trajectory of phage therapy in Western medicine. Despite the promising results bacteriophages had demonstrated prior to the war as potential antibacterial agents, the decades after 1945 saw a dramatic decline in interest, funding, and scientific engagement with phage therapy in the United States and much of Western Europe. This marginalization can be attributed to a confluence of scientific, sociopolitical, and economic factors that reshaped the landscape of infectious disease treatment and research. Artistic View One of the key contributors to this decline was the overwhelming optimism surrounding the newly discovered class of antibiotics. The post-war pharmaceutical revolution brought forward a series of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as streptomycin, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol, which were viewed as miracle drugs capable o...

The Phage Therapy in the spotlight !

Image
Bacteriophages: Ancient Predators and the Next Frontier in Medicine In the animated documentary The Deadliest Being on Planet Earth , the Kurzgesagt team delves into the world of bacteriophages—viruses that prey exclusively on bacteria. With vibrant visuals and precise narration, the video introduces viewers to an invisible ecosystem where microscopic hunters orchestrate life-and-death dramas that shape the biosphere. These entities, though virtually unknown to the general public, may soon become central to the future of medicine. At the heart of the video lies a paradox: bacteriophages (or "phages") are among the most abundant biological entities on Earth—outnumbering all other organisms combined—yet their therapeutic potential has been largely sidelined in the antibiotic era. The video outlines the historical trajectory of phage research, spotlighting Félix d’Hérelle’s early 20th-century work and the rise of phage therapy, only to show how it was later eclipsed by the dis...

Paper 3 : Phage Therapy May Treat Drug Resistance in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis, Study Finds

Phage Therapy May Treat Drug Resistance in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis, Study Finds June 13, 2025 "Yale's university researchers find a new approach to combatting antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial resistance, in which germs like bacteria and fungi no longer respond to medicines, is a rising global threat. When antibiotics and other drugs become ineffective, infections can become difficult or impossible to treat, leading to an increase in the spread and severity of disease. In a new study, published in Nature Medicine , a team of researchers at the Center for Phage Biology and Therapy at Yale discovered a novel approach that may revolutionize the fight against antimicrobial resistance. Jon Koff, MD, with a patient Credit: Robert A. Lisak For the study, the research team investigated the use of phage therapy—the use of viruses, or phages, to target and kill bacteria—to help patients with cystic fibrosis, a disease in which antimicrobial resistance is a significant issue....
