The rate of encounters of antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens is increasing at a rapid rate worldwide, whereas our ability to treat these infections is diminishing. Not only are existing antibiotics becoming less effective, we have also exhausted most of the traditional methods for drug discovery.
Our team has identified a group of therapeutics that can interfere with pathogenic bacterial infections, particularly targeting the most problematic antibiotic resistant Gram-negative strains. We are now applying for Business Finland TUTL funding in order to further develop the drug candidates and prepare for commercialization of the inventions.

The position can be either full-time or part-time depending on your skills and role.
