Phage Hunters Training And Research Program

Phage Hunters Training and Research Program (PHTRP) is a non-profit organization led by a dynamic team of phage enthusiasts from Kenya, committed to inspiring and empowering the next generation of scientists in Africa and other Low & Middle Income Countries (LMICs) to pursue phage research. To address the critical need for novel therapeutics in the fight against antimicrobial resistance—a global crisis that could cause approximately 10 million deaths annually by 2050. To inspire and empower scientists in Africa and other developing countries to pursue phage research as a means to combat antibiotic resistance. A world where phage research is at the forefront of antibiotic solutions, driven by a global community of innovative scientists committed to discovering life-saving therapeutics? We combine hands-on training, scientific entrepreneurship, and strategic advocacy to drive innovation in sustainable antibiotic solutions. Our program stands on three core values: Pushing the boundaries of research with new ideas and creative solutions: Fostering a community where scientists, students, and stakeholders work together: Upholding the highest standards of ethics, transparency, and accountability in our work.
