Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers has announced the launch of PHAGE: Therapy, Applications, and Research, the only peer-reviewed publication dedicated to the burgeoning field of bacteriophage research and its applications in medicine, agriculture, aquaculture, veterinary applications, animal production, food safety, and food production. Spearheaded by Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Martha Clokie, Professor of Microbiology, University of Leicester, UK, PHAGE will be published quarterly online and in print and will serve as the cornerstone publication of phage research with the goal of solidifying, growing, and unifying its emerging community of innovative researchers and clinicians. A preview issue of the Journal is planned for summer 2019.
The therapeutic use of bacteriophages first emerged more than a century ago but waned in the West with the advent of antibiotics. Now, with antibiotic resistance identified as an urgent public health crisis, phage therapy has reemerged as a key to treating and preventing antibiotic-resistant infections. PHAGE will not only advance this area of research but will also open doors for new ideas and pique the interest of funding agencies to procure more money for scientists and clinicians vested in bacteriophages.
PHAGE will provide a powerful platform for the deliberation and dissemination of phage research, in the form of impactful original research articles, reviews, commentaries, perspectives, and profiles. The Journal will include and promote the ethical, regulatory, and policy challenges faced by the research community and will be the critical resource for molecular biologists, microbiologists, bacteriologists, bioengineers, immunologists, clinicians and translational biologists and unify this evolving cluster of innovative researchers, industry leaders, clinicians and policy makers.
