The Biozentrum at the University of Basel is offering a fully funded PhD position in the research group of Prof. Knut Drescher, focused on antibiotic biosensor protein engineering. The project sits within the Swiss National Competence Center in Research (NCCR) AntiResist, a national effort to address the global antibiotic resistance crisis. The research aims to develop new allosteric biosensors for major classes of antibiotics. These biosensors will help measure local antibiotic concentrations a...
