Student

• Establish and optimize advanced 3D in vitro infection models (e.g., staphylococcal abscess communities)
• Investigate early events in infection establishment, including bacterial aggregation, fibrin encapsulation, and antibiotic tolerance
• Characterize neutrophil–bacteria interactions, including phagocytosis, ROS production, and bacterial killing
• Identify and evaluate immunomodulatory compounds that enhance neutrophil function
• Perform cell culture and co-culture experiments using primary human neutrophils and bacterial pathogens
• Apply advanced techniques including confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, and molecular assays
• Analyze and interpret complex experimental datasets
• Contribute to interdisciplinary collaboration with biomaterials researchers within the PREPARE project
