PhD Studentship: Nanopore Technology for Rapid and Accurate Measurement of Antibiotic Concentrations
Supervisors: Dr. Nicholas Bell Bell Lab Website Dr. Kabir Husain Husain Lab Website Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is exacerbated by persistent, sub-lethal levels of antibiotics in the environment and the lack of routine monitoring tools. Current methods for measuring antibiotic...
