Photocontrol of Baterial Processes

We are looking for a motivated MSc student for an experimental thesis on PHOTOCONTROL OF BACTERIAL PROCESSES

The research activity will focus on the use of photosensitive materials to manipulate bacterial processes by means of light. These include bioelectric signalling, assembly behaviour and antibiotic tolerance.
The project is highly multidisciplinary, involving optical spectroscopy, biophysics, imaging, and bioengineering.
