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

🔬 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

Behind every patient story, every discovery, and every #phage, there’s a dedicated team making it happen.
Over the next few weeks, we’re excited to introduce the people who power the #PittsburghPhageProgram — starting with Dr. Ghady Haidar.🧫✨

Emerging strains of a deadly ‘superbug’ seem to have picked up an advantage over other micro-organisms: a chemical weapon that kills competing bacteria

Shoutout to @dariavantyne.bsky.social, our Head of Phage Biology and Discovery, for her leadership in #phagetherapy. P3's latest clinical impact was given the spotlight in Contagion Live! Read more on how phage therapy is transforming treatment options: 🔗 tinyurl.com/Contagion-Live

Excited to share our latest, out today in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social Bacteriocin production facilitates nosocomial emergence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium www.nature.com/articles/s41... @idpittstop.bsky.social

👋 We're the Pittsburgh Phage Program (P3)! Based at Pitt, we advance precision medicine using phages—viruses that kill bacteria. We fight antibiotic resistance through compassionate use & clinical trials.

Follow for 🔬research, 💡phage facts, 📢success stories!

How does avi-caz treatment lead to broad-spectrum treatment failure? Our awesome Peds ID faculty and labbie @rapskiid.bsky.social shows how, by longitudinal sequencing, genotyping, and phenotyping. Congrats Glenn! @dariavantyne.bsky.social @aleciarokes.bsky.social

I remember seeing Dr. O’Brien at seminars around Boston and Cambridge and being wowed at his stature, both physically and in the AMR field. And that was before I knew whose father he was… www.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1...

From our lab to yours, happy holidays!

JOB CLAXON!

I am recruiting a post-doctoral researcher on a BBSRC-funded project (36 months) on the genetics and functional genomics of vancomycin resistance in enterococci.

Please DM or email me if you want to discuss this post.

Silver lining of an otherwise awful week: attending #RBM2024 with these fabulous folks. A great meeting full of awesome science!

Check out this collection in the ASM journal Spectrum which highlights some recent advances on #Phagetherapy #MicroSky-with @dariavantyne.bsky.social
