  evolution bacterial interactions drug resistance microbiome

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

  The group investigates ecological and evolutionary processes in (infectious) microbial communities. We study these eco-evolutionary processes using molecular biological tools, by performing phenotypic and growth measurements, and modeling. By unveiling the fundamental ecological and evolutionary microbial processes in infectious disease, we hope to improve and contribute to strategies that can alleviate infectious diseases and limit the spread of antibiotic resistance. Specifically, we investigating bacterial interactions that can limit the growth of pathogens/ pathobionts, and the evolution of antibiotic resistance.

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

  Project interested to look from an evolutionary perspective not only to the spread of antimicrobial resistance, but also the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Projects that aims to use microbial \'ecosystem engineering\' to limit infectious diseases
