This grant is for establishing Centers for Accelerating Phage Therapy (CAPT-CEP) specifically aimed at combating ESKAPE Pathogens. These new Centers will be crucial for advancing robust phage therapy research and development by focusing on key areas. They are expected to develop innovative preclinical assays, essential tools, and effective models that are vital for successful R&D in bacteriophage therapy. Furthermore, a significant objective of this funding is to progress phage clinical research, moving promising therapies closer to patient application. The overall goal is to enhance the scientific foundation and practical applications of bacteriophage-based treatments to address the critical threat posed by ESKAPE pathogens, which are notoriously difficult to treat with conventional antibiotics.
