Excellence in the research area of Combating and evaluation of mixed biofilms. Grantová schéma Horizont 2020; WIDESPREAD-05-2020; EU projekt 952398, trvanie 12/2020 – 11/2023, člen riešiteľského kolektívu

Projekt CEMBO je zameraný na ďalší rozvoj Prírodovedeckej fakulty UK od rešpektovaného národného centra excelentného výskumu po centrum excelentnosti s európskou dimenziou. Zameriava sa na excelentnosť vedcov a výskumných pracovníkov Katedry mikrobiológie a virológie a Katedry fyzikálnej a teoretickej chémie PriF UK s partnermi z Academic Medical Center at the University of Amsterdam, Holandsko a Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Nemecko. Tím z Prif UK bude študovať molekulárne a fyziologické vlastnosti biofilmov tvorených klinicky relevantnými patogénmi - baktériami, ako aj kvasinkami organizovanými v zmiešaných biofilmoch. Hlavnou myšlienkou je vybudovanie medzinárodného centra excelentnosti, pričom táto ambícia si vyžaduje ďalšiu podporu a školenia, ktoré sa získajú spoluprácou s ďalšími známymi medzinárodnými centrami excelentnosti.

Understanding biofilms associated with infections. InfectBiof. SK-PT-18-13897, tvanie projektu 2019-2021, člen riešiteľského kolektívu                                                     Bilaterálny projekt, ktorý je výsledkom spolupráce Univerzity Komenského v Bratislave a National Health Institute Dr. Ricardo Jorge, Lisabon, Portugalsko. Projekt rieši otázku úlohy biofilmu pri život ohrozujúcich infekciách spôsobených CRBSI mikroorganizmami asociovanými s implantátmi. Zameriava sa na štúdium jednodruhových a zmiešaných biofilmov.

Prevencia a eradikácia mikrobiálnych biofilmov vo vzťahu k nanomateriálom. Grantová schéma APVV-15-0347, trvanie 07/2016-12/2020, člen riešiteľského kolektívu

Projekt bol zameraný na štúdium jednodruhových ale aj polymikrobiálnych biofilmov formovaných baktériami S. aureus, E. coli, Streptococcus mutans a kvasinkami z rodu Candida. Testovali sa hybridné systémy na báze ílového minerálu saponitu a fotoaktívnych látok, a to metylénovej modrej a floxínu B. Študovali sa aj antimikrobiálne účinky quorum sensing molekuly farnezolu na biofilm C. albicans a boli urobené pilotné experimenty aj na zmiešaných biofilmoch C. albicans a oralnej baktérii S. mutans. Výsledky preukázali účinnosť niektorých bioaktívnych molekúl, ktorú by mali byť použité na prípravu hybridných systémov alebo ich vylepšenie v nasledovných projektoch.
