Background
“Enhancing world-class research and education in biofilm and antibiotic resistance by strengthening cooperation between Norway-Brazil-USA» is a project led by Dr. Fernanda Petersen at the University of Oslo, and formed by the RESISPART team.
The RESISPART team is a consortium between researchers and educators from three universities and two institutes:
- University of Oslo (UiO; Norway)
- University of Campinas (UNICAMP; Brazil)
- University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC; USA)
- Forsyth Institute (USA)
- J Craig Venter Institute (JCVI; USA)
Aim
The project aims at strengthening research and education on AMR with focus on the contribution of oral health research to the field, and opportunities to promote world-class education for dental health professionals. It is based on the need for holistic approaches that integrate AMR research to various life-science disciplines.
Funding
The project is funded by The Research Council of Norway (RCN) and The Norwegian Agency for International Cooperation and Quality Enhancement in Higher Education (Diku) under the INTPART program.
