Phage therapy has long been available for everyone and no one at the same time. We’re changing this.

Phage therapy has been used for over a century however it’s not an established therapy in modern medicine. Why? Because clinical trials aren’t set up for personalised therapeutics. Unlike other drugs, using the same phages on everyone doesn’t work.

Until now, we’ve had two options:

  • Use the same phages on everyone, compare outcomes (traditional clinical trial)

  • Use phages personalised to each patient’s needs (compassionate use)

What if we didn’t have to choose? What if we treated and monitored everyone the same way, but each person got their own phages?

With your help, we can amass the data we need to get phage therapy approved as a medicine in Australia.
