**Funded PhD developing tools to automatically identify new and emerging antimicrobial resistance**

The main aim of the PhD will be the development and evaluation of methods for automatically identifying novel and evolving antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. AMR is a growing global health crisis that threatens the function of modern medicine. Genomically informed diagnostics and surveillance have been identified as key activities to try and ameliorate this crisis. Currently, AMR gene prediction results (such those generated by CARD's RGI) require a lot of expertise and manual analyses in order to identify potentially important or worrying emergent genes. This project seeks to use existing data from efforts to characterise AMR in large genome databases along with associated phylogenetic, spatiotemporal, and phenotypic data to develop means of automating these analyses.

This project will also involve existing collaborations with clinicians (Toronto’s Shared Hospital Laboratory and Sunnybrook Research Institute), public health agencies (PHAC/NML & CFIA/NCFAD), and infectious disease researchers including local experts in evolutionary microbiology and Dr. Andrew McArthur’s Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (card.mcmaster.ca) group at McMaster University.
