Project Description
Short Description: DC16 will analyse mature P. aeruginosa biofilms on clinically relevant surfaces to understand their structure, resistance, and heterogeneity. The project involves gene expression analysis, testing existing and novel inhibitors, and exploring treatment synergies. In vivo models using zebrafish and mice will be developed to study biofilm formation, persistence, and host interactions, aiming to identify effective therapeutic strategies.
