Story
By 2050 antimicrobial resistance could be responsible for 10 million deaths each year. We urgently require alternative therapies to help us combat superbugs!
Phages, viruses which infect and kill bacteria, may hold the answer.
At the Phage Collection Project we aim to isolate and build a comprehensive phage biobank from samples we receive across the world.
All donations we receive will support the shipping costs associated with our Phage Sampling Initiative. The funds will enable us to receive more samples from citizen scientists worldwide and find the next phage that can help treat and save a patient's life.
