Dr. Ana Motos, a promising researcher trained in our group in the field of respiratory infections, has been awarded the prestigious RESPIRE - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) fellowship. This esteemed grant, funded by the European Respiratory Society and the European Commission, is designed to support groundbreaking research and innovation. Known for its highly competitive selection process, the RESPIRE - MSCA grant provides not only financial support but also access to a vast network of research and training opportunities across Europe.
With the MSCA grant, Dr. Motos will embark on a two-year research journey at the University of Nantes under the supervision of Prof. Antoine Roquilly. Dr. Motos' project, titled "Definition of Sub-phenotypes of Pneumonia Based on the Respiratory Microbiome Composition to Predict Microbial and Clinical Treatment Failures," aims to define sub-phenotypes of respiratory microbiomes associated with the emergence of resistance during treatment and treatment failure. The project's implications extend beyond the scientific community, as findings may contribute to the development of targeted therapeutic approaches for pneumonia, improving patient outcomes, and addressing antibiotic resistance challenges.
