• Career stage: Early Career Researcher (up to 8 years** since PhD).

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:
  Animal Health (incl. wild-life, livestock, acquatic organisms, and companion animals)

• Keywords:

  POC; LAMP technology; Protocol validation; Animal health; Companion animals

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

  We are a consortium of four scientific groups from three countries (France, Belgium and Norway) looking for partners, preferably on the following areas: - Structural / Comparative / Mutation Genomics ; - Sequencing of DNA complexe structures ; We have expertise in bacterial resistant characterization, molecular analysis of animal diseases, epidemiology, surveillance, research and development of innovative technologies for AMR in the veterinary sector.

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

  Our project is to develop and validate a point-of-care LAMP-based test to detect antimicrobial resistance genes in bacteria from companion and livestock animals.
