Description of the research topic:
The aim of the research is to investigate the genetics and evolution of antibiotic (AB) and antimicrobial peptide (AMP) resistance using second- and third-generation sequencing platforms. By these, we would like to find answers to one of the most important questions of the medical and pharmaceutical industry. We will investigate why there are differences in horizontal gene transfer and taxonomic distribution of AB and AMP resistance genes. The research includes the development of appropriate bioinformatic pipelines and models that helps to assign the direction of further investigations. The researches will be done in collaboration with the Synthetic and Systems Biology Unit of the Biological Research Centre, Szeged, Hungary (http://group.szbk.u-szeged.hu/sysbiol/).
Required language skills: english (at least B2 level) Further requirements: Bioinformatic skills, genomic knowledge
