DC 2:
- Host institution: GÖTEBORGS UNIVERSITET (UGOT), Sweden
Department: Biomaterials, Orthopaedics, Infectious diseases - Supervisor: Associated professor, Margarita Trobos, e-mail: margarita.trobos@biomaterials.gu.se
- Research Project 2
Project Description
Short description: DC2 will study the molecular mechanisms of biofilm formation linked to implant-associated infections. Utilising advanced in vitro and in vivo models, the project will explore bacterial-osteoblast interactions, biofilm development, and the role of staphylococcal adhesins in infection persistence. Collaborations with genetic engineering experts will support the creation of mutant strains to better understand key pathogenic pathways.
