Outil d’établissement de liens de l’Initiative de recherche sur la résistance aux antimicrobiens (RAM)

Pour atteindre les buts et les objectifs de l’Initiative de recherche sur la RAM, il est prépondérant de rapprocher les disciplines et les secteurs impliqués en préconisant une approche interdisciplinaire « Une seule santé » qui tient compte de l’interaction de facteurs propres à l’agriculture, à l’agroalimentaire et à la santé humaine, animale et environnementale.

L’outil d’établissement de liens constitue l’une des voies suivies par les IRSC pour faciliter la formation de relations étroites entre les chercheurs et les représentants du gouvernement, d’ONG, d’organismes communautaires ou d’autres organisations. Il vise à mettre en contact des partenaires potentiels qui travaillent dans un domaine d’intérêt mutuel dans le but d’appuyer la création concertée de données de recherche et leur mobilisation dans des programmes, des politiques et des pratiques, ce qui permettra de faire progresser la recherche sur la RAM et d’améliorer la santé de la population canadienne. À titre d’exemple, des chercheurs œuvrant dans le domaine de la santé pourraient vouloir utiliser l’outil pour nouer un partenariat avec des pairs spécialisés dans l’environnement ou avec des responsables des politiques dans le cadre d’un projet qui tirerait parti de données existantes, tandis que des communautés pourraient y avoir recours pour faire état de leur disposition à accueillir un projet de mise en œuvre.

Pour vérifier les critères d’admissibilité, veuillez consulter la possibilité de financement dans RechercheNet.

Expertise additionnelle : Expertise in drug delivery and nanomedicine, with a focus on antimicrobial delivery to treat bacterial biofilm infections.

Interested in forming collaborations or partnerships with microbiologists, physician scientists, and medicinal chemists. My lab has expertise in advancing the packaging and delivery of antimicrobials, and we are interested in improving efficacy of existing and emerging antimicrobial therapeutics, co-delivery of synergistic antimicrobials, and partnering with researchers focused on a specific infection model or disease.

Contexte additionnel : Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) is a research center and part of the University of Saskatchewan (USask) and is located on the campus of USask, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada. VIDO’s vision is Healthy People, Healthy Animals with the mission to protect the world from infectious diseases. VIDO is one of the largest, most advanced, containment facilities in the world, comprising ~100,000 ft2 of BSL2 space, 20 BSL2-Ag animal rooms, ~180,000 ft2 of BSL3/BSL3-Ag space and BSL4 space in development. In addition, VIDO has a 160-acre research station for large animals and has recently added a 7,500 ft2 BSL3 capable cGMP biologics manufacturing facility referred to as the ‘Vaccine Development Centre’ (VDC). Dr. Neeraj Dhar leads the Laboratory of Infection Biology and Imaging research group at VIDO. Research within the laboratory focuses on three main themes 1) Bacterial persistence against antibiotics, with the aim of discovering anti-persister compounds to accelerate antimicrobial chemotherapy, 2) Exploring phenotypic heterogeneity in bacterial infections especially in the context of infection and host-pathogen interactions and 3) Developing three-dimensional (3D) microtissue models for studying respiratory infections. The proposed research builds on the tools and reagents developed by Dr. Dhar over the past 10-15 years, utilizing innovative microfluidic platforms and advanced timelapse microscopy systems for single-cell microbiology. In addition to standard laboratory equipment, the lab is equipped with an automated live cell imaging system that can be used to acquire long-term high-resolution live-cell images of bacteria, cell cultures as well as tissue samples. The system is fully equipped with environmental control over temperature, CO2 and oxygen. So essentially we are equipped to test experimental compounds against wide variety of bacterial pathogens in vitro at the single-cell level to in vivo in different animal models in different levels of containment.

I'm interested in establishing cross-sectoral linkages and look to connect with partners in academia, clinical laboratories, public health institutions, agri-food industry stakeholders who bring complementary expertise in chemistry, compound screening, epidemiology, and translational research. Our community faces challenges due to limited integration of human, animal and environmental AMR data and significant gaps in surveillance, advanced imaging and data analysis. Desired outcomes of these linkages would be to foster multi-disciplinary collaborations that facilitate a holistic approach to AMR

Contexte additionnel : I am the Director of Brock University's Containment Level 3 (CL3) lab that also includes a CL3 insectary. We have done work on arboviruses and the mosquitoes that transmit them, with an emphasis on West Nile virus, Zika virus and Mayaro virus. However, we are able to work on other BSL-3 agents (after PHAC approval of protocols) that may be of interest. We can offer our CL3 Services to a One-Health project under this grant opportunity.

We are interested in supporting other research groups.

Contexte additionnel : Bacterial amyloid (curli) is an established target of anti-biofilm drug treatments, but rigorous antimicrobial treatments are hindered by a lack of detailed understanding of the fibril structure and dynamic assembly process. We use biophysical tools to resolve the structural mechanism of curli amyloid assembly, from single protein molecules and small oligomers (optical tweezers) to mature amyloid fibres (cryoEM) to define drug targets and examine the mechanism of existing inhibitors.

Looking to contribute our expertise in studying molecular mechanisms of curli (biofilm) assembly as part of a larger team focused in any/all areas of AMR related to biofilm (health, food, animal, environment).

The s Alberta HIV clinic, which provides care to all HIV person in S Alberta, has bio banked intake samples (ie plasma virus) on 90% of patients entering our care since 1989 (n>6000 unique persons). We also have many samples at time of antiretroviral failure. In addition, we have all patients' viral sequences undertaken for resistance testing at time of treatment failure. When combined with our detailed host's extensive clinical, laboratory, antiretroviral treatment and social details we are exploring viral evolution, emergent antiretroviral resistance (and its costs) in a large geographically defined high characterized, genetically diverse real-world population. Collaborations comparing our population to others with regard to treatment care strategies, ART use, transmission risk co factors would be helpful as would more intense virology studies looking at extensive viral and host factors driving emergent resistance.
