Award for research on bile resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa to identify antimicrobial targets, funded by NIH with $240,000.
Description
The project focuses on bacterial genetics and expression techniques to map Pseudomonas aeruginosa survival and adaptive responses to bile exposure. The work aims to identify shared and strain-specific bile resistance pathways, which could lead to new antimicrobial targets. The project is funded by NIH grant PA-20-195. The award amount is $240,000, with $150,000 in direct costs and $90,000 in indirect costs. The project is part of the Bacterial Virulence Study Section [BV].
