Short CV:<br />
Dr. Chloé Elizabeth James<br />
2003-2006: Post Doctoral Researcher at the <strong>University</strong> of Florida, Dept of Oral Biology:<br />
employed by Prof Richard Lamont. Fun<strong>de</strong>d by The National Institute of Health (NIH)<br />
Project: Investigation of the pathophysiology of the oral pathogens. I used molecular techniques<br />
(genetic manipulation, real-time PCR, microarray analysis and protein purification) to study gene<br />
expression effected by cell-cell signalling and interactions between P. gingivalis and S. gordonii.<br />
2001-2002: Post Doctoral Researcher at the <strong>University</strong> of Liverpool, School of Biol Sci:<br />
employed by Prof. Alan McCarthy. Fun<strong>de</strong>d by The Biotechnology and Biological Science Research<br />
Council (BBSRC).<br />
Project: Molecular characterisation of verotoxigenic bacteriophage infection. I used molecular<br />
techniques to investigate bacteriophage immunity and a host receptor protein for the bacteriophage<br />
attachment and infection.<br />
1998 - 2001: PhD Stu<strong>de</strong>ntship at the <strong>University</strong> of Liverpool, School Biological Sciences:<br />
Supervisors: Profs J.R. Saun<strong>de</strong>rs, A.J. McCarthy and R. Sharp. Fun<strong>de</strong>d by The Ministry of<br />
Agriculture Fisheries and Food (MAFF) / Centre for Applied Microbiological Research (CAMR).<br />
Title: “Use of a Recombinant Verocytotoxigenic Phage to Investigate Infection of Bacterial Hosts”<br />
Your responsibility in the network:<br />
Post Doctoral Researcher July 2006- July 2008<br />
Employed by Prof Jean-<strong>Marie</strong> Pages<br />
Project: Investigation of the transport of antibiotics across the outer membrane of multi-drug<br />
resistant Gram negative bacteria. Use of molecular techniques including genetic manipulation and<br />
protein purification to investigate the role of outer membrane porins of E. coli and E. aerogenes and<br />
their regulation.<br />
Your experience (positive/negative) with our network up to now:<br />
I have enjoyed working on a very interesting project that has taught me new techniques and introduced<br />
me to other disciplines and ways of thinking. The network is well linked and we have a strong interactive<br />
relationship, particularly with Bremen. I have conversed extensively with researchers of the <strong>Jacobs</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> team via email and in person.
