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

General Information

• Type: Partner looking for project
• Organisation: MMRI Mosskowski Medical Research Institute
• Country: Poland (PL)
• 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

  Animal Health (incl. wildlife, livestock, acquatic organisms, and companion animals)
  Plants (incl. trees and crops)

• Keywords:

  antimicrobial protein antifungal peptide

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

  We possess expertise in isolating and characterizing proteins with antibacterial and antifungal activity, utilizing both biochemical and structural methods. Our proficiency extends to the production of these proteins as recombinant entities and their subsequent engineering for enhanced functionality. Currently, we are seeking projects and partnerships with experts proficient in the rigorous testing of antifungal activity. This includes in vitro assessments as well as evaluations in diverse models.

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

  We have recently discovered a protein that exhibits exceptionally potent antibacterial and antifungal activity. Our primary objectives are to unravel its mode of action, enhance its tolerance to diverse environmental conditions, and explore potential applications for preventing and treating fungal infections across humans, animals, and plants.
