JPIAMR 14th Call Partner Search Tool

General Information

• Type: Partner looking for project
• Organisation: Universidad San Jorge
• Country: Spain (ES)

Research area

• Scientific area(s) of the call:
  1. Improvement of drug/plant protection agent efficacy and/or specificity through chemical modifications (including hit to lead optimisation)
  2. Optimisation of drug/plant protection agent combinations, alone or with adjunct therapies (including therapeutic vaccines)
  3. Design and implementation of new strategies (including optimisation of drug doses) for improved application, efficacy and delivery of single or combinations of antimicrobials
  4. Design and implementation of innovative tools, including novel chemistry and/or new materials for improved application, efficacy and delivery of antimicrobials
• One Health Setting:

  Human Health Animal Health (including wild-life, livestock, fishes, and companion animals)

• Type of studies/experimental approaches:

  in silico, in vitro, in vivo preclinical and clinical studies in human and in all veterinary settings

• Keywords:

  antifungal antibacterial synergies synthesis predictions

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

  1.- We carry out studies on the antibacterial and antifungal activity of different substances, their sublethal effect and the development of possible resistance. We apply these analyzes also to the combination of these compounds with commercial antimicrobials. 2.- We generate new compounds (synthesis and semi-synthesis) with potential as antimicrobials. We seek solutions using molecules that contain natural products and commercial antimicrobials in their structure, among other possibilities. 3.- We make in-silico predictions of bioactivity of natural compounds. We carry out predictive studies of bioactivity by means of computers, mainly due to its bactericidal capacity.

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

  We would like to join a project or seek partners to develop a project in which we can expand our knowledge of cell lines. We are looking for partners with experience in genomics and metabolomics to apply the products we are developing and thus evaluate the possible resistance they generate.
