PhD in Dentistry

Applications are invited for a 100% full-time, 3-year PhD Research Fellowship position based at the Institute of Oral Biology, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo (UiO), Norway./nProject title: “Novel drivers of antibiotic resistance in oral streptococci”/nOral streptococci are among the most predominant and influential bacterial species inhabiting the oral environment. These microorganisms play a significant role in maintaining the complex microbial ecosystem of the mouth. The oral cavity... provides a fertile ground for the selection and propagation of resistant strains. Understanding the evolutionary behavior, interactions with drugs, and resistance mechanisms is therefore crucial.
