Mystiphage: A Generative Phage Bank Packaged in a Pill to Counter Antibiotic Resistance — Team Presentation

02What happened

The year

Mystiphage built a generative design pipeline for retargeting bacteriophages at chosen bacterial hosts — an approach to infections that antibiotics no longer clear. The project won Best Therapeutics Project outright, was nominated for Best Model, and placed in the Top 10 of the overgraduate section, back to back with 2024.
