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

General Information

• Type: Partner looking for project
• Organisation: University of Silesia
• 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)

• Keywords:

  carbon nanomaterials fullerenes photodynamic inactivation ROS

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

  Our group deals with the synthesis of water-soluble fullerene nanomaterials for applications in molecular biology and microbiology. Our portfolio of compounds includes fullerene nanomaterials that generate reactive forms of oxygen capable of killing microorganisms during photoinactivation processes. We offer chemical synthesis as well as structural characterization (NMR, MS, SEM, TEM, XPS, FT-IR, Raman).

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

  We would like to joint projects regarding the use of nanomaterials in fighting fungal/bacterial diseases.
