MSc or PhD Graduate Student Opportunity in Infectious Disease
with Dr. Jeroen De Buck
The De Buck Laboratory is seeking a highly motivated MSc or PhD student to join an ambitious,
impact-driven research program developing a next-generation, phage-based diagnostic for
Johne’s disease. This project uses mycobacteriophages and genetic engineering to create a
rapid, highly sensitive, PCR-free diagnostic platform designed for on-farm (pen-side) use.
The goal is to translate cutting-edge molecular microbiology into a practical tool that can be
deployed directly in the field, enabling earlier detection and better disease control.
