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

  Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) stands as Sweden\'s foremost research institute and innovation partner, comprising a multidisciplinary constellation of over 3,000 researchers, scientists, and problem-solvers with a broad range of skills. RISE has a broad infrastructure, experience in large project consortiums within AMR (e.g., MURYXIN, APRINHA, IMI-ENABLE, Antibiotic Smart Sweden, FORMAMP), and is permanently open to establishing new collaborations and participating in the preparation of project proposals. Our research teams possess expertise in microbiology, molecular biology, cell biology, biomaterials, immunology, in vivo infection models, advanced microscopy, chemistry, biochemistry, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metagenomics, bioinformatics, and AI, among others. Specific examples: Antibiotic resistance characterization and quantification through culture-based methods, qPCR, multi-OMIC approaches; Antimicrobial susceptibility testing; Handling and analysis of wastewater and environmental samples; Wastewater-based epidemiology; AMR selection experiments; Biofilms; Accurate strain typing and identification; Horizontal gene transfer; Plasmid typing and characterization; Drug discovery, formulation and development of novel antimicrobial compounds (including peptides), and surfaces; Biomarker discovery; Development of methods for rapid diagnostics. You are very welcome to contact us. We will be happy to explore possibilities, discuss project needs, and find the perfect partner within RISE.
