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

General Information

• Type: Partner looking for project
• Organisation: University of Milan
• Country: Italy (IT)
• Career stage: Other.

Research area

• Scientific area(s) of the call:
  1. Topic 2: to develop or improve existing strategies, technologies or methods, or data use strategies to support One Health AMR surveillance
• One Health Setting:

  Human Health

• Keywords:

  Phylogeny; Surveillance; AMR; Genomic characterization

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

  My research activities are strongly committed in studies unravelling the role of microbial genetics (viral and bacterial genomes mainly, and mobile genetic elements like phages and plasmids) on epidemiology, pathogenicity, disease progression, immune and treatment response. The research outcomes are rapidly translated into clinical practice, thus guaranteeing a precision medicine approach. Thanks to the availability of high throughput and ultra-sensitive technologies, biological and biochemical knowledge can be indeed integrated in the clinical management of fragile populations (i.e. paediatric population, immunosuppressed subjects, HIV infected persons) and infection control strategies. (Scopus ID: 24824156300)

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

  I\'m looking for a project where the definition of transmission trajectories of antimicrobial resistance outbreaks and genomic surveillance in bacterial species by advanced phylogenetic analysis and transmission dynamic models could be part of the project.
