Descripción: The Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) is a cutting-edge institute addressing global public health challenges through research, translation into policy, and education. ISGlobal has a broad portfolio in communicable and non-communicable diseases including environmental and climate determinants, and applies a multidisciplinary scientific approach ranging from the molecular to the population level. Research is organized in five main areas:
Climate, Air Pollution, Nature and Urban Health;
Environment and health over the Lifecourse;
Global Viral and Bacterial infections;
Malaria and Neglected Parasitic Diseases;
Maternal, Child and Reproductive Health.
ISGlobal is accredited with the Severo Ochoa distinction, a seal of excellence from the Spanish Science Ministry.
Location: 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. The MASTER will be involved in the following activities:
Evaluation of the in vitro activity and stability of the molecule with antimicrobial potential found against the aforementioned 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).
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: The key responsibility of the candidate will be to participate in the general organization of the research group and its equipment and infrastructure, ensuring that all research lines are carried out correctly with the techniques performed in our laboratory, providing support to all members involved (PhD Students / Post-doctoral students / Visitors / other Lab Technicians) and to other activities within the scope and purpose of the project.
TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE / QUALIFICATIONS:
Previous laboratory experience in the microbiology field, particularly in antimicrobial resistance.
Training in Molecular Biology.
SKILLS:
Candidate with initiative and proactivity.
Outstanding organizational and good teamwork skills.
Responsible, flexible, and with problem-solving skills.
Eager to learn, proactive, and with great initiative.
