16th JPIAMR transnational call for research projects - AMR diagnostics and surveillance 2023 (DISTOMOS)

General Information

• Project title: Rapid diagnostics of bacteria, antibiotics and their reactions through high-throughput infrared (IR) spectroscopy and machine learning
• Type: Project looking for partner
• Organisation: Uppsala University
• Country: Sweden (SE)
• Career stage: Other.

Research area

• Scientific area(s) of the call:
  1. Topic 1: to develop novel, or improve existing, diagnostics, including point of care diagnostics, that can rule out antimicrobial use or help identify the most effective antimicrobial treatment
• One Health Setting:

  Human Health

  Animal Health (incl. wild-life, livestock, acquatic organisms, and companion animals)
  Plants (incl. trees and crops)
  Food
  Environment (incl. natural and built)

• Keywords:

  Rapid diagnosis IR spectroscopy Machine learning

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

  We at the division of Applied Material science, have a broad knowledge of antipathogenic materials and IR spectroscopy (includes IR microscopy, but also new sensitive methods using waveguides and quantum cascade lasers as the light source). We are looking for international partners with expertise in microbiology and machine learning, especially for IR spectroscopy.

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

  We are trying to develop new technologies combining IR spectroscopy for rapid analysis of bacteria, antibiotics, and their interactions. Combining machine learning, we will aim for a map and fast diagnosis. It could be for humans, animals and environment.
