Secret weapons or molecular junk? Determining the influence of bacteriophages in enterococcal infections

February 12, 2025

E. faecalis and E. faecium, commonly found as part of the healthy gut flora in humans and animals, have become significant opportunistic pathogens in recent years….

PhD Opportunity in Developing Phage Therapy to Combat Drug-Resistant Poultry Pathogens

December 27, 2024

This project focuses on using bacteriophages (viruses that target bacteria) to address the challenge of drug-resistant, pathogenic Escherichia coli in farmed poultry – a key threat…

Opportunity to join Helmholtz Research Groups with Jun. Professorships (RNA-based Infection Research/Medicine/Biology)

December 16, 2024

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 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 Structural and Molecular Characterising of Non-Typhoidal Salmonella

November 28, 2024
