Project Title: Marine Organisms as Sources of Specialized Metabolites to Disrupt Bacterial Communication: Isolation and Identification of Quorum Sensing Inhibitors

Project Introduction: The emergence and the spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria constitute a major public health issue. Among incriminated Gram-negative bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been designated by the WHO as a critical priority threat. P. aeruginosa has the capacity to form biofilms, reinforcing its virulence and intrinsic drug resistance. The regulation of biofilm and virulence factor production of this microorganism is controlled by a specific bacterial communication system called Quorum Sensing (QS). The development of antivirulence agents targeting QS that could attenuate P. aeruginosa pathogenicity without affecting its growth is therefore an attractive new therapeutic strategy. The current research proposal aims to identify unique specialized metabolites as QS inhibitors (QSIs) from largely underexplored local marine fauna and flora, specifically marine sponges, octocorals and cyanobacteria found at southern islands of Singapore. The proposal has four main objectives: (A) collection and screening of selected marine taxonomic groups for QS inhibitory activities using P. aeruginosa reporter strains, (B) perform MS-based metabolomic analysis of bioactive fractions for compound dereplication and detection of new/novel metabolites, (C) purification and structural determination of bioactive molecules using chromatographic and spectroscopic methods and (D) evaluation of compounds in attenuating virulence factors production and biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa with collaborators at SCELSE, NTU.

Requirements:

• Possess a BSc degree in Chemistry/Biology-related fields
• Be familiar with experimental techniques pertaining to organic chemistry and/or microbiology
• Ability to work independently
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Well-rounded and mature character
• Good interpersonal and organizational skills

Responsibilities:

• Assist in field collection of marine samples
• Carry out extractions of marine samples
• Carry out semisynthesis of organic molecules and microbiology-related bioassays
• Perform data analysis
• Other tasks as assigned by the Principal Investigator

Job Description

We are looking for passionate and self-motivated research assistant to join our multidisciplinary team to work on the development of novel nanocatalysts and in situ investigation of the structure-property relationship. The successful candidate will be expected to collaborate with a group of researchers from various disciplines and also assist the principal investigator in guiding junior researchers and graduate students as well as in managing project and laboratory. (https://cde.nus.edu.sg/mse/staff/ming-zhao/; https://www.mingzhaogroup.com/)

Qualifications

• BS degree or higher in materials, chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, environmental engineering, or any other related fields.
• Experience in nanomaterials synthesis, catalysis, in situ characterization will be advantageous.
• Good written and spoken communication.
• Self-motivated; able to work independently and collaboratively.

We are recruiting for an exceptional individual to join us as a Research Assistant within Professor Roland Wolf's group to investigate the potential mechanisms by which air pollution impacts human health. The project is a key part of a large multi- disciplinary UKRI/NERC funded consortium entitled "Hazard Identification Platform in Toxicology" (HIP-Tox), involving the Universities of Manchester, York, Edinburgh, Birmingham, and Imperial College London. This is a fixed-term appointment for 1 year.

Over the last decade our understanding of the impact of air pollution on both short- and long-term population health has advanced considerably and there is now an increased appreciation of how low levels of exposure not only affect the cardiopulmonary system but also other tissues such as the brain. In the latter case leading to poor mental health and enhancing the risk of dementia. However, there are still major gaps in our understanding of the most harmful components within the air we breathe and the mechanisms by which they induce their adverse effects. This project involves the use of unique in vivo reporter models of cellular adaptive responses to chemical and inflammation-induced stress to evaluate the mechanisms by which source-specific airborne pollutants impact on brain function; both at a toxicological level, and in collaboration with the Penning/Meehan teams at the University of Edinburgh, at the level of DNA methylation. Our aim is to provide a relative ranking of the hazard of specific aerosols across the indoor/outdoor continuum, the identification of the causal chemical components driving these adverse health effects, and the identification of biomarkers which reflect these.

You will have the opportunity to work as part of a large multi-disciplinary consortium across multiple UK universities. You will contribute to our understanding of the deleterious effects of air pollution, and in the process, you will hone your molecular biological, biochemistry, and histology skills. You will gain experience in colony management. You will also have the potential to be trained in a wide array of in vivo techniques and procedures using our unique transgenic in vivo reporter models.

Your priorities will include:

• Managing multiple transgenic in vivo colonies, including genotyping.
• Histological tissue sectioning, processing, and analysis.
• Extensive widefield and confocal microscopy.
• Assisting with preparing results for scientific meetings, discussions, and publications.
• Where previous experience allows, assisting in conducting in vivo exposures and tissue collection.

Who we're looking for:

• Experience in immune- and histochemical analysis.
• Previous experience in lung and brain sectioning and histology.
• Experience with molecular biology techniques, including genetics.
• Exceptional time management, organisational, and self-motivational skills.
• A Home Office Personal Licence (PIL-AB) will be an added advantage.

The University of Dundee is a signatory of the Researcher Development Concordat and is committed to enhancing the research environment and culture. Engagement and support of activities which assist the researcher development agenda at the University is therefore essential.

For further information about this position please contact Dr Jean Campbell at gcampbell002@dundee.ac.uk.
