Angela Ivask

Professor

University of Tartu

Tartu, Estonia

I am leading an interdisciplonary group on microbe-material interactions. We are studying how antimicrobial materials affect gene expression, whether these induce tolerance, affect bacterial evolution or direct accumulation of mutations over time.

My organisation

On this page you can find supervisor and topics - overview of postdoctoral fellowship offers from the research groups at the University of Tartu. The University of Tartu (UT) is Estonia’s leading institution for research and higher education. Consistently recognised for its excellence, UT is ranked among the top 350 universities worldwide. According to the Web of Science database, we are in the top 1% of the world’s most-cited universities and research institutions in 15 out of 22 research fields. The UT is committed to providing top-level education and research, as well as knowledge valorisation, and serves Estonia, Europe and beyond by providing excellent scientists and world-class research infrastructure, and facilitating international collaboration.

About me

I am currently working as Professor of Genetics at University of Tartu, Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, Estonia. My background is biology and microbial genetics and I am leading a research group that focuses on microbe-material interactions:

Our interdisciplinary group consists of chemists, material scientists, biologists, bioinformatics-oriented people, and we are studying how microbes respond to antimicrobial stress - which genes they express, whether they induce tolerance, how they evolve, which mutations accumulate due to antimicrobial stress over time.
