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
After 50 years in Olympia, WA, the Evergreen Phage Meeting is hitting the road for the first time with its first stop in Knoxville, Tennessee! Abstracts for both oral and poster presentations can be submitted up until June 27th but will be accepted on a rolling basis.
Led by Ria Kaelin (Phagebiotics) & Tom Denes (UT Knoxville) in collaboration with PhageDirectory
The Evergreen Phage Meeting welcomes researchers at all career stages, from students to seasoned scientists. We invite participants from around the world and value contributions from a wide range of research environments, recognizing the importance of diverse perspectives and resource conditions in advancing phage science.
Join us for a memorable evening at The Press Room as we celebrate the pioneers of phage biology, with a special tribute to Dr. Betty Kutter for her remarkable contributions to the field and to the Evergreen Phage Community.
Trip to Gatlinberg and Anakeesta:
