Summary

The conference incorporates two main events. The first is a professional workshop, to be held under Chatham House rules, to discuss and advance a pre-written framework for bacteriophage application and associated safety and regulatory considerations. This will be followed by a public forum to present and discuss the results and implications with a more general audience before shifting to guided and informal discussion.
