PhD in undertsanding how antibiotics and bacterial defence systems interact to limit antibiotic resistance transmission December 12, 2024 This project will investigate how AMR plasmids, bacterial defenses, and antibiotic treatment interact to determine the overall spread of AMR plasmids. To do this,…
Opportunity to work as a research technician at UCL December 11, 2024 Looking for an enthusiastic and experienced research technician to join the Therapeutic Vulnerabilities in Solid Tumors and Sarcoma group of Dr Sophie Postel-Vinay and the…
Oppotunity for PhD or Post-Doc in Bacteriophage Engineering at VIB-VUB Center for Structural Biology December 10, 2024 A major limitation of phage therapy is the typically very narrow host ranges of phages that are isolated from nature. This means that novel…
Phd Opportunity in Combined Therapeutic Efficacy of Phages and Probiotics to Control Avian Pathogenic Escherichia Coli December 9, 2024 Colibacillosis is one of the most common and important diseases in poultry production often linked to extra-intestinal colonization of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC)….
PhD opportunity to work on Combinations of bacteriophages and cold plasma for biofilm biocontrol December 4, 2024 The ongoing antimicrobial resistance crisis has incentivised research into alternative antibacterial and antibiofilm agents. One of them is cold plasma and plasma-activated water (PAW),…
PhD Opportunity in Generative AI approaches for synthetic phage genome engineering December 3, 2024 The emergence of powerful artificial intelligence (AI) tools, now supports complex prediction and generation tasks at molecular, systems, and genomic levels. In this project,…
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 Impact of climate change on bacteriophage, virome diversity and plant response November 30, 2024 The relationship between bacteriophage and virome diversity and plant response to rising temperatures is largely unexplored. Microbial communities are crucial for plant health, enhancing…
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…
