Congratulations to Miriam Waizer from the University of Regensburg, Germany, for winning the Poster Presentation Award 2025 of Targeting Phage Therapy 2025, here in Berlin !
Her poster titled “Pseudomonas Aeruginosa-Induced Bilateral Otitis Media with Different Progression Under Topical Phage Therapy” captured the attention of the Scientific Committee and earned her this well-deserved recognition. Her work brings valuable insight into the potential of topical phage applications in complex ENT infections — a promising path for future therapeutic strategies.
About her Research and Future Steps :
She focuses on the development of bacterial phage resistance in a therapeutic context. M.Waizer investigates on mechanisms that influence phage therapy, for example the influence of the immune system and the co-evolution of bacteriophages and bacteria in vitro and in situ. These experiments are carried out based on the cases of the Phage Center Regensburg in collaboration with our cooperation partners at the UKR. The aim is to use these findings from the in vitro experiments and the continuous monitoring of the in situ situation to further improve phage therapy.
Bravo to Miriam Waizer for this outstanding contribution!
