Undergraduate science, on the record
Review papers, genome annotations, more than 20 conference abstracts, and Africa’s first undergraduate journal of bacteriophage biology.
PHAMILIA Journal
Our story, in our own words
PHAMILIA records the team’s research, history and members, with guest contributions from the international phage community.
PHAMILIA Vol. 3
Volume 3 will launch at the World Phage Week Symposium 2026. It will cover our recent research and include contributions from partners and parent organisations.
