We are offering a postdoc position in antibiotic tolerance research to commence on 1st April 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter. The Department of Immunology and Microbiology at University of Copenhagen is a unique interdisciplinary research flagship exploring the biology of pathogenic microbes and our immune system, with the aim of improving population health. Project description The purpose of the research project is to obtain knowledge about the mechanistic basis of biofilm-associated antibiotic tolerance in the bacterium  Pseudomonas aeruginosa , which is a model organism for biofilm research. Persistent infections caused by biofilm forming bacteria are an important medical problem. Since our current treatment regimens in many cases fail to cure biofilm-based infections, new anti-biofilm drugs and novel treatment strategies are needed to combat these problematic infections. However, our present knowledge of the mechanistic basis underlying the...
