The CPT was please to host Dr. Robert “Chip” Schooley, M.D. as he delivered a well-attended seminar titled “Bacteriophage Therapy for Serious Bacterial Infections: Back to the Future” on Jan 14, 2019. The seminar recapped the phage therapy intervention in the “Patterson case” from the clinician’s perspective, and discussed the future of phage therapy as a medical practice. The seminar was very well attended by faculty and students from across TAMU campus. The seminar was followed by a round table discussion on the challenges and policies surrounding phage application as human medicine. The discussion was attended by the IPATH and the CPT leadership, and Dr. Tom Patterson himself.
