JPIAMR 13th Call Partner Search Tool

General Information

• Type: Partner looking for project
• Organisation: Technical University of Denmark
• Country: Denmark (DK)

Research area

• Scientific area(s):
  1. Understand the impact of interventions on development and transmission of AMR
  2. Design, implement, evaluate, and compare innovative interventions to control the development and transmission of AMR
• One Health Setting:

  Environment

• Keywords:

  resistance plasmid; transmission; bacteriophages; water treatment

• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  I am microbial ecologist whose group mostly works on horizontal transfer of resistance in the environment. We have isolated bacteriophages that specifically lyse plasmid -carrying bacteria, irrespective of their taxon. These could be leveraged to control transferable resistance genes in environmental engineering applications (our main interest) or in other settings (e.g. aquaculture, animal husbandry).

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  I am interesting joining a project where mobile resistance genes in the environment are of relevance and/or where the application of plasmid-specific phages is of interest.
