• Type: Project looking for partner
• Organisation: Tallinn University of Technology
• Country: Estonia (EE)
• Career stage: Other.

Research area

• Scientific area(s) of the call:
  1. Topic 1: Identify and develop new combination treatments using existing or innovative antimicrobials or antimicrobial with adjunctive treatments to extend drug efficacy and combat resistance.
• One Health Setting:

  H - Human Health

• Keywords:

  nanomaterial A. baumannii in vivo

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

  Our team develops smart, stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms for targeted delivery and controlled activation of antimicrobial agents.

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

  Our project focuses on synergistic nano-enabled strategies to overcome multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections, with emphasis on A. baumannii. We are developing targeted photodynamic-adjunct formulations designed to transiently weaken bacterial defense barriers and improve antibiotic performance while reducing systemic toxicity. We are specifically looking for a collaborator skilled in murine infection models, including bacterial burden quantification, histopathology, toxicity assessment, and comparative evaluation of combination therapies.
