Odyssey is seeking a Phage Molecular Biologist, Jr Scientist I to support the Wound Infections Department (WID) at WRAIR(Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Silver Spring, MD). The phage biologist is responsible for performing a variety of laboratory procedures and works as part of a scientific team to advance the understanding of biological questions to contribute to […]

This project focuses on using bacteriophages (viruses that target bacteria) to address the challenge of drug-resistant, pathogenic Escherichia coli in farmed poultry – a key threat to global food security. This project will develop innovative phage therapies to selectively target drug-resistant Avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) while preserving the balance of the gut microbiome. APEC causes colibacillosis, a […]

The Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, Center for Antibody Therapeutics (CAT) is searching for a Laboratory Technician. The CAT lab’s focus is on the identification and characterization of antibodies by using the phage display technology.  Routine lab work includes the basic molecular and cell biology experiments, including but not limited to: molecular subcloning, […]

The focus of this project is to uncover phage’s molecular workings through an integrated structure-functional approach combining phage microbiology, biochemistry, and structural biology. The project is supervised by Vasili Hauryliuk (PI) as well as Gemma Atkinson (co-PI, structural bioinformatics, Lund University) and Pontus Gourdon (co-PI, cryo-EM, Lund University and the University of Copenhagen). This post-doctoral […]

The appointment at the University of Würzburg will be based on the Berlin Model with simultaneous assignment to the HIRI to fulfil research and management tasks. The appointment will initially be made for a period of three years as a temporary civil servant.  The HIRI is the first facility of its kind to combine research on […]

The project represents an ambitious attempt to delve into this universe of uncharacterised biodiversity through a series of sequential investigations. The first step will be to provide a ‘natural classification’ for the ~30,000 phage high-quality genomes sequenced to date, through the definition of natural groupings of related genomic entities or Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs). In […]

When phages kill bacteria, they cause changes in the bacterial membrane that can be detected using electrical impedance spectroscopy. This project aims to develop a biosensor to monitor phage replication and bacterial killing. We will study how phage lysis proteins interact with bacterial membranes using neutron reflection, atomic force microscopy, and molecular simulations. This will […]

The Faculty of Medicine of the Julius-Maximilians-University of Würzburg and the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI, Würzburg) jointly open a call for three Junior Professorships (f/m/d) (grade W1). Recruiting excellent scientists with an internationally recognized research profile in basic microbial or medical research. Three separate positions are to be staffed by junior research […]

Prophages are parasitic genetic elements that integrate within the genomes of bacterial hosts, bursting out with deadly effects in response to stress. Intriguingly, host bacteria can co-opt these dormant viruses into anti-competitor weapons called tailocins (aka ‘Zombie’ phage), thereby transforming parasites into potential assets. This ‘domestication’ process is predicted to strongly influence the course of bacterial infections since […]
