Researcher (Faculty and Technologists) in Molecular Biology of Phage-Bacteria-Animal Symbioses at One Health Microbiome Center, Penn State University in University Park, PA, USA The Bordenstein lab in the One Health Microbiome Center at The Pennsylvania State University seeks multiple Researchers. The Researcher position (non-tenure track faculty) will focus on the use of Drosophila transgenic expression, genetic editing techniques, fitness assays, reproductive tissue dissections, fluorescent and electron microscopy, microinjections, and team management to understand the genetics and mechanisms of how endosymbionts and their phage genes modify reproduction in animals.

We help doctors and scientists harness phages to treat antibiotic resistant infections.
关于我们
Our mission is to accelerate the use of phages (the class of viruses that target bacteria) so we can use them to eliminate the threat of antibiotic resistance. Phages are personalized antimicrobials, so leveraging them is logistically challenging. But when harnessed, they can form a safety net hospitals and governments can rely on when antibiotics fail. We’re building the operating system for personalized phage therapy — the comprehensive playbook for maximizing the success rate of phage therapy. Right now, this includes tools for physicians and medical centers to source phages for urgent patient infections (3 cures to date), data collection tools for learning from phage data (combining in vitro and in-human data to maximize insights about what works), and tools for phage researchers to efficiently manage, study, share and get credit for the phages they collect and make available for patient treatments (1000+ researchers collecting 10k+ phages across 40+ countries). Currently, we’re working with Phage Australia, led by the Westmead Institute for Medical Research in Sydney, Australia, to leverage our operating system as the backbone of their budding phage therapy ecosystem.

We (Balgrist University Hospital in Zurich, Switzerland) seek a motivated MD-PhD candidate to join our team in May/June for translational research on urinary tract infections (UTIs). The role focuses on analyzing clinical and microbiological data from trials on novel UTI treatments, particularly phage therapy.
