A Message from Dr. Betty Kutter

Greetings, my dear phage family,

More than 50 years ago, we built the Evergreen Phage Meeting as a place for discovery, collaboration, and the relentless pursuit of phage science. What a journey it has been! Though I won’t be there in person this year, my heart is with you all as you continue to push the field forward.

Evergreen has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I am grateful to see the Phagebiotics Research Foundation carrying this legacy into the future. Keep asking big questions, forging new connections, and sharing knowledge—because that’s what makes this community truly special.

Wishing you all a fantastic meeting and many more to come!

With gratitude,

Dr. Betty Kutter
