Offer Description

[Background of the recruitment and description of the project]
* Background of the recruitment and description of the project
Our department conducts research focused on elucidating the virulence mechanisms of enteric pathogenic bacteria, such as Vibrio species and pathogenic Escherichia coli. By integrating a wide range of approaches—from epidemiological investigations to molecular biological analyses—we aim to (i) uncover the factors driving global dissemination, (ii) establish novel models for analyzing and evaluating virulence mechanisms, (iii) identify virulence determinants and characterize their functions, and (iv) clarify the regulatory mechanisms that control their gene expression.
Building upon these findings, we also strive to translate our knowledge into the development of innovative therapeutics and vaccines that do not rely on conventional antibiotics, as well as strategies for infection control.
We are now seeking an Assistant Professor who will actively contribute to these research and educational activities.
