Project Description
Short description: DC10 will identify novel biomarkers and develop effective antimicrobial strategies to prevent adverse tissue responses and infections related to hearing implants. This PhD study will first focus on identifying predictive biomarkers of adverse tissue responses by analysing human proteomics and microbiome data from the largest clinical cohort study on hearing implant inflammation. These biomarkers will be paired with clinical measures to improve diagnostic accuracy and personalised patient care. The student will also evaluate the cytocompatibility and antimicrobial efficacy of titanium surfaces functionalised with antimicrobial peptides (AMPs).
