Lugar: Barcelona, Campus Clinic-CEK
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR: ISGlobal is seeking a full-time MASTER who is interested in taking over and managing activities of the project "Desarrollo de dos nuevas estrategias (inhibidores de bombas de expulsión y ARN antisentido) activas frente a bacterias multirresistentes".
The overall project goal is to continue developing the main research line of the project, specifically related to the search and characterization of a cyclic peptide (CP) as inhibitors of efflux pumps (EP) in A. baumannii, P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae and to investigate the effect of this CP against genes essential for the viability of the aforementioned microorganisms.
The activities in which the MASTER will be involved related to the Project will include: Evaluation of the in vitro activity and stability of the molecule with antimicrobial potential found against the abovementioned species; Evaluation of the effect of this peptide regarding its mechanism of action against the bacteria.
The tasks will be developed in the research laboratory of Dr. Jord Vila's group at Centre Esther Koplowitz (CEK).
