About the role
AI summarisedJoin the Nagarajan Lab at the intersection of NUS and GIS to develop high-throughput techniques for isolating and studying microbial diversity from environmental and human samples. Research focuses on applying advanced technologies to understand microbial interactions, build in silico models, and identify microbes contributing to colonization resistance against multi-drug resistant bacteria.
ResearchOnsiteGenome Institute of Singapore
Key Responsibilities
- Develop high-throughput techniques to isolate and study microbial diversity from environmental (e.g., soil, sewage) and human samples (e.g., stool, saliva).
- Combine single-cell dispensing technologies, genome-resolved metagenomics, flow cytometry, and Raman spectroscopy to functionally interrogate strains.
- Study microbial interactions within complex communities.
- Build in silico models of community assembly.
- Contribute to identifying microbes and their functions related to colonization resistance against multi-drug resistant bacteria.
Requirements
- PhD in Culturomics
- Strong publication track record
