Phage Research - The phage jobs

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
