About this position
This postdoctoral project focuses on mycobacteriology and phage–host interactions. The researcher will work on identifying new receptors involved in phage recognition, as well as bacterial genes that act at later stages of infection, to better understand what determines phage specificity against mycobacteria.
The project combines the characterization of environmental phages with functional studies on clinical strains of Mycobacterium abscessus. The postdoc will determine phage host range, evaluate lytic efficiency and specificity in vitro, and investigate how phages perform in the presence or absence of antibiotics to explore possible synergies between phage therapy and antibiotic therapy.
In a second phase, resistant bacterial mutants will be generated from susceptible strains and analyzed genomically to identify the genes responsible for phage resistance and to pinpoint bacterial factors involved in early and/or late steps of phage infection.
The work will be carried out in a laboratory environment where most of the necessary equipment and platforms are already available on site. Most experiments will take place in a level 2 containment laboratory.
