Het bedrijf

Vésale Bioscience – Inteliphage stands at the forefront of personalized phage therapy, recognized as the most promising treatment for combating antibiotic multi-resistant (AMR) and difficult-to-treat infections (DTI) in general. These infections represent one of the biggest global health challenges (WHO: “the next pandemic”). AMR is predicted to become the leading cause of death, surpassing cancer, within the next 25 years. Today, 250.000 people die every year due to a DTI in the EU5 (UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany) + BeNeLux alone, our initial target market.
At Vésale Bioscience – Inteliphage (www.phage.health), we specialize in combining advanced Phagogram® technology with high-quality GMP bacteriophages to deliver efficient, targeted treatments. We are rapidly growing and are approximately 12 months away from commercializing our services, ready to treat the first patients. This is a unique opportunity for you to explore new frontiers in biotechnology, develop cutting-edge expertise, and grow alongside the company.
Join us to help shape the future of phage therapy and make a tangible impact on global health.
