Isolation and Characterisation of bacteriophages for tackling antimicrobial resistant infections in the oral cavity

About the Project

The control of bacterial infections continues to rely heavily on antibiotics and is threatened by rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) that causes over a million annual deaths globally. ... This project aims to explore, characterise, and formulate a bacteriophage-based mouthwash capable of selectively targeting oral pathogens.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated candidate to take on an ambitious research project that will help us to explore the idea of a targeted bacteriophage treatment to protect against dental caries and periodontal disease. ...
