Deciphering evolutionary processes behind antibiotic resistance by novel tools in Synthetic Biology

THESIS TOPIC PROPOSAL

Institute: University of Szeged
biology
Doctoral School of Biology

Thesis supervisor: Csaba Pál
Location of studies (in Hungarian): Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Biological Research Center of Szeged, Synthetic and System Biology Group
Abbreviation of location of studies: SzBK


Description of the research topic:

According to pessimistic estimates, microbial drug resistance will be the leading cause of death by 2050, unless novel antimicrobial strategies are developed. Therefore, understanding mechanisms that are underpinning antimicrobial resistance is of critical importance.
The proposed PhD project will target the systematic fine-mapping of evolutionary mechanisms that are leading to antibiotic resistance in human pathogens. As a next step, based on this knowledge we will also design novel therapeutic strategies.
The project will involve latest approaches from synthetic biology, high-throughput screening and utilize state-of-the-art sequencing technologies. For further details, please visit: http://group.szbk.u-szeged.hu/sysbiol/
