Julia Maria Kloos


Job description

I am involved in projects focusing on antibiotic resistance (Closing the diagnostic gap in adaptive antimicrobial resistance of multi-drug resistant Gram-negative pathogens) and microbiome research (Gut Microbiome-based Biomarkers to Prevent Infections by Antimicrobial Resistant Bacteria in Infancy; Compositional and metabolic changes of the gut microbiome in childhood cancers).

Besides research, I also take over administrative and teaching related tasks.
