The challenge: Current AST methods rely on slow bacterial cultures (1-7 days). This delays critical decisions in urgent care. We’re developing rapid, cost-effective lateral flow assays (LFAs) to detect bacterial resistance without the wait. 🧪⏱️ #AMR #Diagnostics
Benefit from a supportive environment:
Weekly meetings & hands-on supervisor guidance
EDI focus & professional development opportunities
Courses in data science, research skills & biomanufacturing
📅 Deadline to apply: 26th January 2025
