Congratulations to Phage Foundry PI Vivek Mutalik (LBNL), co-investigator Jamie Inman (LBNL), co-investigator Adam Arkin (UC Berkeley/LBNL), and research scientist Jian-Hua Mao for their new review in Trends in Molecular Medicine!
The review, “Phage therapy in oncology: opportunities for cancer prevention and treatment,” proposes a phage–microbiome–immune–oncology axis that links microbial dynamics, immune modulation, and engineered phages to guide precision cancer prevention and therapy. By examining phage–host–tumor interactions through robust model systems and highlighting translational opportunities, the review establishes phage therapy as a promising frontier in precision oncology that warrants accelerated clinical development.
