The Phage is a Media Partner for JAFRAL Phage Summit 2026

We’re pleased to support the JAFRAL Phage Summit 2026 (19–21 May, Ljubljana, Slovenia) as a media partner. The summit brings together clinicians, researchers, pharmacists, biotech leaders, regulators, and healthcare professionals to discuss clinical evidence, regulatory developments, compassionate use, and innovations shaping phage therapy.

If you’re planning to attend, you can use promo code THEPHAGEBLOG5 for 5% off registration (this does not apply to student registrations, as their fee is already significantly reduced). Poster submissions are currently open, and young researchers are encouraged to participate.
