Job Description
The research project focuses on investigating the membrane-selective mechanism of Lugdunin, a cyclic heptapeptide with remarkable activity against multi-resistant gram-positive bacteria. The goal is to unravel the molecular interactions and structural determinants that confer specificity and antimicrobial activity through collaborative work between FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg and the University of Göttingen. This interdisciplinary approach aims to develop novel antimicrobial peptides and innovative strategies to combat multi-resistant bacterial infections.
