The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $212,169 Project Grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) to advance mentorship capacity at the university's Integrated Center for Combating Antimicrobial Resistant Bacteria. The project aims to develop the principal investigator's expertise in constructing site-directed mutants of key beta-lactamase enzymes and using pharmacodynamic hollow-fiber models to better understand antibiotic resistance mechanisms. The grant will also support the PI in applying for additional federal funding to mentor early-career researchers pursuing clinical-based and laboratory-based antimicrobial resistance projects. The funding period runs from January 2025 through December 2029.
