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

General Information

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

Research area

• Scientific area(s) of the call:
  1. Topic 2: Improve and/or, compare and/or evaluate strategies, technologies, treatments, methods, protocols or data collection based on existing interventions, aiming to prevent or reduce the emergence or spread of antibacterial or antifungal resistance or to treat/cure infections caused by resistant bacteria/fungi and recommend new policies.
• Subtopics:
  1. Improve and/or compare and/ or evaluate the effectiveness of existing interventions (e.g. cost effectiveness clinical utility, socio-economic adaptability, reducing AMR emergence, spread, transmission, treatment etc.)

• One Health Setting:

  Human Health

• Keywords:

  biofilm; biomaterials;Pseudomonas; bacterial communication; stress responses

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

  I am a microbiologist and interested in understanding bacterial sensing and responding mechanisms to surrounding environments, including stress caused by antimicrobials. I have also been collaborating with multidisciplinary sectors and actively involving the development of novel biomaterials against bacterial attachment and biofilm formation.

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

  1: charactering antimicrobial resistance mechanisms to develop novel Interventions to slow or reduce the emerging of resistance. 2: novel anti-bacteria, anti-biofilm biomaterials for medical needs.
