Deadline: 2024-07-27T00:00:00Z

Faculty of Medicine in Plzeň


Title of the research project:


ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE AND APPLICATIONS OF MASS SPECTROMETRY IN MICROBIOLOGY


Project Annotation:


The laboratory of Antibiotic Resistance and Applications of Mass Spectrometry in Microbiology deals with the epidemiology of antibiotic resistant gram-negative bacteria using Whole genome sequencing on different platforms (Illumina, Pacbio, Minion) and different bioinformatics tools in dealing with genomic data. Moreover, the lab uses proteomics (Mass spectrometry) in developing novel approaches to detect different resistance and virulence determinants associated with resistant bacteria. The lab wishes to apply RNA sequences to study operon expression in resistant bacteria in association with newly introduced antibiotics in clinical practices. So if you are a newly graduated Ph.D student and you are interested in AMR and its mechanisms, and would like to be participating in developing new and interesting ways in fighting AMR and have the basic experience as mentioned below, join our lab. We are an international group of Postdocs, Ph.D students and masters students working in a friendly atmosphere.
