Founded in 2017, the Research Institute is dedicated to the development of phage-based formulations, with a focus on technological innovation, process optimization, and applied research.
The Institute has established domestically advanced phage technologies for multiple plant pathogenic bacteria, including Ralstonia solanacearum, Acidovorax citrulli, Clavibacter michiganensis, Pseudomonas syringae, Erwinia spp., and several Xanthomonas species, helping fill key gaps in China’s phage-based crop protection technologies.
With a professional R&D team of 44 master’s degree holders, 5 PhDs, and 3 expert consultants, the Institute maintains long-term collaborations with universities and research institutions such as Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Ocean University of China, Shandong University, Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Qingdao Agricultural University.
