Biologics Lyophilization
PSI, in collaboration with UConn, is developing formulations and processes to enable freeze drying of bacteriophages with the goal of stabilizing phages for treatment of antibiotic resistant infections. PSI is performing this work with support from the US Defense Health Agency to provide therapeutics for servicemen in austere environments.
Key Features
- Thermally stabilized phage cocktails incorporated into bandages for wound treatment in austere environments
- Room-temperature storage in dry packaging
- Months of bacteriophage stability and therapeutic titer
Bacteriophages consist of proteins that form a specific 3D structure built around a DNA or RNA genome.
