The book is born! THE LIVING MEDICINE is out TODAY! Reviewers described it as “unputdownable”,“a detective story”,“a page turner”, “Malcolm Gladwell at his best" and compared it to "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks."

👋 it’s time 🕰️ to register to the @ESCMID #ESGNTA exclusive onsite workshop (no live webcast) entitled "State of the Art Clinical Evidence for the Use of Phage Therapy in Clinical Practice: the Pathways for Efficacy" that will take place in Lyon the 12-13th November 2024 ➡️ escmid.org/event-detail/stat…! Download the updated program here ➡️ escmid.org/fileadmin/escmid/…, and register here ➡️ members.escmid.org/login?Ret… to come and meet in person the world experts in the field of clinical #phage therapy 🤩 ! Such a honor for me to organize this incredible event and to make Lyon the world capital of #bacteriophage therapy during 2 days! We are ready to welcome you in 2 months 🔥! Do you know that Lyon is the city of Lights ✨? The Lyon city has a huge history and was called Lugdunum. It was an important Roman city, the capital of Gaul that was part of current Western Europe. Lyon has a rich architectural heritage through the centuries. The Festival of Lights (Fête des lumières) is celebrated every year on December 8 to mark the city's victory over the last plague epidemic, which ravaged the city and ended on December 8, 1852 (we don't know if natural #phages were involved as a player in such eradication!). It was particularly important for me to set up the course in a significant location and it will take place in the hangar of the 1st film 🎬, where the first movie 🎞️ in the story of cinema was recorded 🎥 by the brothers « Lumière » (Light ✨ in English), named Auguste and Louis Lumière. You will sit in a highly comfortable cinema seat and you have to know that you will be in the venue that welcome the annual International Lumiere Film Festival each year in October (institut-lumiere.org/)! We are excited to welcome our hosts with @MCOCongres in particular fantastic conditions. Here are below some 📸 to share you the current atmosphere waiting you! I love ❤️ my city ✨ I love ❤️ my country 🇫🇷! So happy and excited to welcome the faculty and attendees here! Register and participate to the #phage history, an incredible ✨ film 🎥 that is still ongoing (we don’t know the end, but I think that we have together the ability to influence it)! Thanks 🙏 to all our partners @FondationHCL Vésale Bioscience @Jafral1 BiomX Inc @ATechnophage Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for their educational support! @OnlyLyon @villedelyon @CHUdeLyon @HCL_research @UnivLyon1 @InstitutLumiere @Inserm @CNRS @Sante_Gouv @esgnta 📸 Credits (1, 2: T.
