17th JPIAMR transnational call for research projects - AMR Interventions 2024 (IMPACT)

General Information

• Type: Partner looking for project
• Organisation: University of Kent
• Country: United Kingdom (UK)
• Career stage: Other.

Research area

• Scientific area(s) of the call:
  1. Topic 1: Design novel or improved interventions to prevent, mitigate and /or treat fungal infections, which are resistant to treatments and/or are at risk of developing resistance
• Subtopics:

• One Health Setting:

  Human Health

• Keywords:

  Biofilm Candida Cryptococcus mitochondria prosthetics

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

  We are a medical mycology lab with experience in direct application of our research to patients. We are interested in the AMR profiled of biofilms and how this is accelerated by pathogen/host interactions. Looking for international partners with expertise in infection models or immunology.

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

  We have developed a suite of fungal specific mitochondrial inhibitors that overcome AMR in a range of human fungal pathogen species. we seek partners to help evaluate these within infection models and to examine the immunological response to their application.
