Nano4CRISPR: Novel nanocarrier reagents for environmental delivery of CRISPR/Cas

Gene-editing is the new generation of genetic engineering that can be applied to food through the production of plants, animals and microorganisms with agronomic traits of interest. Nano4CRISPR advances from ‘laboratory-based gene-editing approaches’ to ‘on-site approaches’ in which CRISPR/Cas9 g...

Pre-project: Impact of administered drug use on development of environmental antibiotic resistance genes and risk for human exposure.

The one health perspective recognizes that human health is closely connected to the health of animals and the environment. One of the biggest one health issues is the rapid development and spread of antimicrobial resistance genes across the globe. New human-made drivers, such as plastic pollution...

Microplastics in wastewater as a carrier and dispersal route of antibiotic resistance in oceans

The project has given us new knowledge about the spread and release of bacteria with antimicrobial resistance genes from sewage plants and will give us a better insight into how different types of plastic polymers form biofilms that can spread such unwanted bacteria. The project was unfortunately...
