PhD Fellowships Innovative Solutions of Antimicrobial Resistance – Denmark
Applications are invited for Fully Funded Three (03) PhD fellowships at Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark in the field of Innovative Solutions to the Problem of Antimicrobial Resistance.
Details
The fellowships are associated to the project INNOTARGETS, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 956154.
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing medical challenge, hampering the effectiveness of existing drugs and threatening the lives of patients. Therefore, there is a pressing need for novel compounds including compounds that re-sensitise drug-resistant bacteria to existing antimicrobials. To address this problem, the EU-funded INNOTARGETS project will train early-stage researchers (ESRs) in the identification of novel metabolic drug targets in pathogenic bacteria.
The project is a collaboration between 10 academia and industry partners in Denmark, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and UK, and it will guide early stage researchers to use innovative approaches to achieve their scientific goals. INNOTARGETS aims to train ESRs who have scientific and technical skills which are attractive to both industry and academia.
