Offer Description

The World Health Organization (WHO) lists antibiotic/antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among top 10 threats for global health. AMR threatens human and animal health and welfare, the environment, food security, economic development, and equity within societies. This RCN funded projects overarching goal, is to generate new knowledge about measures that help us to understand, handle and prevent the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) from a One Health perspective.

This PhD project will focus on AMR spread and magnification in aquatic food webs. Understanding the combined effects of metal and organic pollutants, including drugs combined with the presence of potential pathogens in aquatic systems on AMR development is a goal of this project. Our project also takes this one stepfurther by assessing the effects of spread of AMR in the human/environmental interface (for instance recreational areas) and impact on the human food chain (i.e. Aquacultures).
