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

General Information

• Project title: Development of fast AMR prediction method based on artificial intelligence algorithms evaluating clinical and microbiological data
• Type: Project looking for partner
• Organisation: IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna
• Country: Italy (IT)
• 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

• Keywords:

  machine learning;artificial intellingence;AMR prediction;bloodstream infections;antimicrobial stewardship

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

  We are a team of clinical microbiologists and researchers with experience in fast microbiology methods and artificial intelligence algorithms. We would like to cooperate with colleagues (microbiologists using MALDI-TOF, biostatistics and bioinformatics) interested by the development of machine learning models for AMR fast prediction based on multiple data sources.

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

  The project aims to implement the microbiological diagnostic workflow for bloodstream infections by the development of artificial intelligence algorithms, based on machine learning, that integrate clinical and microbiological parameters including proteomic data obtained by MALDI-TOF MS, in order to obtain a fast AMR prediction.
