Precision medicine powered by phages. Fighting antibiotic resistance at University of Pittsburgh/UPMC through research and clinical care. https://dom.pitt.edu/id/research/pittsburgh-phage-program/
Big news for phage therapy! NIAID has funded the first coordinated U.S. research network dedicated to advancing phage therapeutics against antibiotic-resistant infections. We're proud to be part of this national effort. Read more: dom.pitt.edu/nih-funds-fi... #PhageTherapy #PittsburghPhageProgram
Drug-resistant infections are rising—and we need new solutions. Phage therapy uses viruses that target & kill harmful bacteria with precision 🦠 At P3, we’re bringing this innovation to patients who need it most. 🔗 www.futureofpersonalhealth.com/infectious-d... #pittsburghphageprogram #phagetherapy
Drug-Resistant Infections Are Rising. Phage Therapy Can Help Stop Them.
Antibiotic-resistant infections are outpacing the drug pipeline, but a powerful, targeted solution has existed in nature all along.

Excited to see @dariavantyne.bsky.social and Van Tyne Lab featured on the Podovirus Podcast! Great conversation on how translational phage work actually gets done. 🧫 Check out the links below for the full story! #pittsburghphageprogram #p3 #phages #infectiousdiseases #phagetherapy
Jessica Sacher@jessicasacher.bsky.social · 5mo agoIn 2018, @dariavantyne.bsky.social started her phage lab at @pittdeptofmed.bsky.social. She had 0 phages, just knew their biology & wanted to help patients. Today her lab makes phage for dozens of patients/year under compassionate use, while still publishing research. We asked Daria: HOW? 🧵1/
Pittsburgh Phage Program — 2025 Wrapped! To our patients, clinicians, researches, regulators, and partners— this work doesn’t happen without you. We screened, treated, delivered, learned—and even laid the groundwork for a 2026 trial! #pittsburghphageprogram #phagetherapy #P3
Nearly 300 patients screened for phage susceptibility ✅ 50+ FDA-approved treatments and counting ✅ Phage therapy is making a difference — and we’re just getting started. #pittsburghphageprogram #phagetherapy #P3
We’re continuing our Meet the Team series with Dr. @madisonstellfox.bsky.social, a research physician working at the intersection of care and discovery. Her clinical expertise helps ensure phage therapy reaches the patients who need it most! #PhageTherapy #PittsburghPhageProgram
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation spotlighted our AchromoPhage trial in their March newsletter! We're proud to be part of the effort to bring phage therapy to patients with chronic CF infections. Learn more about clinical action in CF: www.cff.org/research-cli... #pittsburghphageprogram #phagetherapy
We’re continuing our Meet the Team series with Kailey Hughes Kramer, whose work in regulatory affairs helps ensure phage therapy is delivered safely, ethically, and with patient access at the forefront! #PhageTherapy #PittsburghPhageProgram #InfectiousDiseases #PrecisionMedicine
Big shoutout to @olayarendueles.bsky.social @julielebris.bsky.social , @nathaliechen.bsky.social, @dariavantyne.bsky.social and Adeline Supandy—such an awesome team effort from the #VanTyneLab at Pitt! 💫 Great to see phage work move forward together! #PittsburghPhageProgram
Olaya Rendueles@olayarendueles.bsky.social · last yr.Our review on recent advances in #PhageTherapy against Klebsiella pneumoniae is out! We analyze KP-phage interactions from an eco-evo perspective, summarize many lab and clinical trials, and discuss novel approaches like genetic engineering & machine learning. #microsky doi.org/10.1371/jour...
🔬 The spotlight continues! We’re excited to introduce the next incredible member of the #PittsburghPhageProgram team — meet Dr. @dariavantyne.bsky.social, whose work is helping push the boundaries of what’s possible in #phagetherapy. #InfectiousDiseases #P3 #VanTyneLab
