Job Details

Train2Target
An integrated multidisciplinary approach towards a new generatIon of antibiotics: Targeting function and cross-talk of bacterial envelope protein machineries

Train2Target is a multidisciplinary European Training Network funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action. Eleven research groups from academia and private sector have come together to address the challenge of the discovery of innovative antimicrobials.

 

Description
Infectious diseases are still among the top 10 causes of death worldwide. The most relevant factor accounting for the high incidence of infectious diseases is the increase and spread of multi drug resistant (MDR) strains, which is leaving clinicians with very limited options to treat infections especially those from Gram-negative pathogens. The bacterial cell envelope is still one of the best targets for antimicrobial discovery. Train2Target is an interdisciplinary project aiming at dissecting the biogenesis of the cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria, in particular peptidoglycan biosynthesis and outer membrane assembly. The Train2Target project aims at dissecting at the molecular level the function and coordination of core envelope machineries: to this end interdisciplinary approaches will be used. Innovative in vivo and in vitro assays will be also developed to find molecules that alter the function of envelope machineries thus providing new drugs to be developed as innovative antibiotics.

The consortium consists of partners with excellent scientific qualifications in multiple disciplines. In total there are 15 open phD positions within Train2Target funded by the European Commission, offering attractive packages to the best candidates.
