We are currently establishing a model of persistence that considers one of the most important aspects of mycobacterial lifestyle: intracellularity. We hypothesized that mycobacteria able to survive within host cells will likely display metabolic, phenotypical and morphological characteristics of mycobacteria able to persist. This project will develop, characterize and validate this model as a new dynamic system to address questions in the field of mycobacterial persistence. 2012-02-07T10:20:55+00:00 http://www.nimr.mrc.ac.uk/jobs/IRC42784/ http://www.nimr.mrc.ac.uk/jobs/IRC42784/#When:09:38Z The Windows Systems Administrator will be a member of the Computing and Telecommunications Department, which is responsible for the delivery of the Institute’s core IT infrastructure, including IP-based networks, telecoms systems, multi-platform server hosting, central storage systems, virtualisation technologies and compute clusters.
