PhD Opportunity in using experimental evolution to understand the impact of phage therapy on Clostridioides difficile December 1, 2024 C. difficile is intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics and thrives in the disrupted gut environment created by antibiotic treatment. C. difficile is a spore-forming…
PhD Opportunity to work on efficacy of phage cocktails for eradicating MDR E.coli from the GI tract of colonised livestock species November 29, 2024 Examples of common E. coli bacterial diseases include colibacillosis in chickens and swine caused by avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) and enterotoxigenic E. coli…
PhD opportunity to work on impact of Hypermutability and Restriction-Modification by Campylobacter jejuni, on Bacteriophage Control Measures November 26, 2024 Campylobacter jejuni is a major foodborne pathogen responsible for gastroenteritis every year. The major source of infections by this bacterial pathogen is contaminated poultry products. C….
Opportunity to work as a Postdoctoral Associate, Microbiology and Immunology November 18, 2024 The lab’s research focuses on discovering new functions encoded among gut anaerobic bacteria and bacteriophages using high-throughput functional genomics. We are also interested in…
Postdoctoral Opportunity in phage biology and antimicrobial resistance September 13, 2024 Apply and develop new genetic screenings (based on CRISPRi) to characterize phage genes that influence clinical efficacy against bacterial pathogens, characterizing them in their…
