The research group of Prof. Knut Drescher at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel seeks to appoint a PhD student in molecular microbiology, with a focus on bacterial biofilms, to start immediately or as per arrangement.The research group of Knut Drescher focuses on understanding the development and functions of bacterial biofilms, particularly in the context of human infections, using controlled laboratory experiments or clinical samples. Biofilms are antibiotic-tolerant bacterial communities that are the cause of many chronic and acute infections, but biofilms are also a model system for understanding basic aspects of multicellular organization in bacteria. The PhD projects on bacterial biofilms be within the broad set of topics investigated within the research group, and will require a background in molecular microbiology. The exact projects are flexible and will be developed together with Knut Drescher, depending on the strengths and interests of the PhD students.
To get an overview of recent projects, take a look at our publications: https://drescherlab.org/publications.htmlWe offer a highly interactive, multidisciplinary, and international research group within the Biozentrum. Our group spans expertise in molecular microbiology, biophysics, as well as bioinformatics and the analysis of big datasets. Moreover, the Biozentrum offers excellent internal support from various core facilities with expert staff, and a structured PhD program. Our group embraces diversity and equal opportunity. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.

Over the past decades, pan-resistant strains of major bacterial pathogens have emerged rendering available antibiotics ineffective and putting at risk many achievements of modern medicine. New ways to identify clinically effective antimicrobials are urgently needed. However, the current antimicrobial development pipeline is inadequate because of high attrition and limited coverage of multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria. This conference aligns with the scope of the National Center of Competence in Research “AntiResist” which aims at revitalizing antibiotic discovery by bringing a patient-centered paradigm shift. Such a shift requires a multidisciplinary approach starting at the bedside. Many factors affect the development of novel antibiotics such as our limited understanding of the physiology and heterogeneity of bacterial pathogens in patients and their interactions with microbiota. Bacteria growing in patients experience environments that are very different from standard laboratory conditions used for antibacterial discovery. This conference will review the current knowledge on clinical activity of antibiotics; the role of microbiota; micro-tissue infection models; bacterial physiology in patients; mechanisms of antibacterial candidates, and non-conventional therapies. It will introduce students to emerging concepts that promise to accelerate antibacterial discovery, improve treatment regimens and uncover novel targets for eradicating pathogens. It will bring together world-leading clinicians, microbiologists, tissue engineers and chemists who share common interests in the field and work towards the development of urgently needed control strategies to win the race against superbugs.
