OHAMR Call for proposals 2026

General Information

• Project title: Targeted immune engagement and membrane-disruptive combinations for resistance-resilient treatment of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
• Type: Project looking for partner
• Organisation: ibs
• Country: Spain (ES)
• 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:

  Immune-engaging antimicrobials; Lytic peptides; Dendrimers; Gram-negative pathogens; Combination therapy; Resistance suppression; Preclinical development.

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

  We urgently seek a laboratory with established animal models of sepsis caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Your expertise will validate models for novel combination therapies under Topic 1. Pre-proposal deadline: Feb 2, 2026. Contact: José A García Salcedo jags@genyo.es.

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

  The project targets developing resistance-resilient antimicrobial candidates against Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) through immune-engaging and membrane-disruptive strategies, advancing to preclinical proof-of-concept for partnering. It aligns with EUP OHAMR 2026 Topic 1 on combination treatments to combat AMR. Structured across five work packages (WPs), it emphasizes synergy, safety, and translational readiness over 36 months.
