Project description:
Antimicrobial resistance is expected to become a primary cause of death by 2050, with novel approaches to diagnostics urgently required. This project will develop a new sensor technology to diagnose bacterial infections rapidly. The research will be embedded in a rapid-paced environment combining a start-up, academia, and experimental medicine. This research is highly interdisciplinary and will merge Engineering, Microbiology and Biophysics to further our understanding of the phenotypic properties of bacteria upon exposure to different treatments and how to exploit these for diagnostics. Outcomes of this project will contribute to reducing antibiotic misuse and to developing experimental therapies such as phage therapy. The candidate should have a good degree in a physical science and an interest the development of new diagnostic systems.
