In this episode we speak with Tristan Ferry, one of the main drivers of Phage Therapy in France. We talk about how phage therapy is managed in France, we focus on how phages are used against implant associated infections, what are the pathogens involved and what is the best administration route, what they look for in phages and failed treatments and learnings.

On the personal side we could hear a more personal view of his work, how it is to manage such responsibilities, financial pressures of the scientific system and one of the best pieces of advice for PhD students.

Enjoy!
