PhagoMed advances Phage Therapy with eLabJournal

eLabJournal is the cornerstone of our documentation processes. We use it to document experiments and protocols, manage biological samples, organize our -80 freezer, print labels, and even order consumables—essentially using all of the features it offers. Clean documentation is the basis for reproducible research and progress in commercial R&D.

PhagoMed 

PhagoMed Biopharma GmbH is an Austrian biotech company focused on the development of human therapeutic applications of phages and phage-derived proteins. Currently, PhagoMed has three active development programs in the fields of periprosthetic joint infections, urinary tract infections and bacterial vaginosis. These development programs are based on the experiences of its clinical co-founders with last-resort treatments and research collaborations with highly prestigious scientists and research institutions in Germany and Belgium. Since its incorporation in November 2017, the company has raised more than €6.5 million in private investments and public grants. PhagoMed has a team of fifteen highly skilled scientists working on its programs, eleven of which are at the Campus Vienna Biocenter in Vienna, Austria.

Goal

Develop robust phage-based pharmaceuticals that are validated in rigorous clinical trials and
immediately applied to the treatment of patients in need.

Challenge

How to share ongoing research with new and current employees as the company grows

PhagoMed is growing rapidly in size and complexity. Our hard-working scientific team needs instant, totally reliable access to all documentation and lab management functions. And new team members must be onboarded quickly and effectively, both to use existing documentation and to integrate their own new experiments. We can’t wait; they must become fully productive almost overnight! To achieve these requirements, the lab journal system had to be simple to implement and quick to learn.

Solution

eLabJournal makes PhagoMed lab data and information safe, secure, and reliable

Over 20.000 scientists worldwide have installed eLabJournal products in their bioscience laboratories since they were first introduced in 2010. The functionality and capability of the systems are constantly evolving, given direct feedback from users through the active, involved eLab team. Mature systems, widely deployed around the world, give our users the peace of mind they need to sleep at night.

Result

PhagoMed focuses on saving lives by defeating drug-resistant bacteria

PhagoMed research is moving fast with focus and precision, aided by the clear documentation and management of the research process provided by the eLabJournal family of products. eLab scales seamlessly to meet the growing PhagoMed team’s needs and expand research activity.
