Congratulations to José Luis Bila, PhD, from Precise Health SA, Switzerland, on winning the Best Innovation Award at the Phage Therapy 2025 Congress! The winning innovation? A revolutionary digital phagogram platform that’s set to transform how we combat multidrug-resistant infections.
The Challenge: Identifying effective therapeutic phages for MDR pathogens has been painfully slow, creating critical delays when patients need treatment most urgently.
The Solution: An AI-driven identification and decision-support system that:
– Automates matching of bacterial genome sequences to optimal phages
– Connects to a global biobank network
– Dramatically compresses sample-to-treatment time
– Increases clinician confidence in treatment decisions
This breakthrough represents a major leap forward in personalized antimicrobial therapy. By leveraging artificial intelligence and global collaboration, we’re moving closer to a future where life-threatening infections can be treated with precision and speed. The implications for healthcare are enormous – faster treatment decisions, better patient outcomes, and a powerful new weapon against the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance.
Congratulations again to the entire team at Precise Health SA!
