Health inequalities which impact the treatment of urinary tract infections
Find out about this studentship opportunity on Health inequalities which impact the treatment of urinary tract infections.
PhD studentship available.
The project is VERY interdisciplinary, combing social science, biophysics and microbiology to understand inequalities of UTIs treatment and replicate them in vitro to help choose the correct antibiotic.
Pls share, home students only #AMR #MicroSky
