PHAGE: Therapy, Applications, and Research

Aims & Scope

PHAGE: Therapy, Applications, and Research is the only peer-reviewed journal dedicated to fundamental bacteriophage research and its applications in medicine, agriculture, aquaculture, veterinary applications, animal production, food safety, and food production.

Under the distinct leadership of Editor-in-Chief Martha Clokie, PhD, University of Leicester, United Kingdom, the Journal showcases groundbreaking research, reviews, commentaries, opinion pieces, profiles, and perspectives dedicated to defining the roles of phages in all facets of microbiology and microbial ecology and exploring their potential to manipulate bacterial communities and treat infection.

PHAGE is the critical resource for molecular biologists, microbiologists, bacteriologists, bioengineers, immunologists, clinicians, and translational biologists, and aims to unify this evolving cluster of innovative researchers, industry leaders, clinicians, and policy makers.

The Journal also advances knowledge and development in this re-emerging area of research and opens doors for new ideas and funding opportunities for researchers and clinicians in the field.
