Phage display often uses a type of phage known as filamentous, so called because they are long and thin, making the display of many proteins across its surface possible.

While phage display has been around since Smith started studying it in 1984 as an extension of modern microbiology, which started in the 1940s, its application to drug discovery started an upswing ...
