Division of Food Microbiology at the National Food Institute is divided into a division management team and three research groups:  Diagnostic Engineering, Microbial Food Safety and Intestinal Microbial Ecology.

As Head of division I am together with the leader of the management team, responsible for the overall administration and management of the activities within the division.

My main topics of research and advisory include diagnostic, monitoring and control of foodborne pathogens including epidemiological typing of these organisms:

Trace back of microorganism causing human disease eg. human outbreaks to animal and food production.

Monitoring and control of zoonotic organisms in the primarily food animal production especially pig and cattle production.

Risk assessment in relation to animal waste and animal by-products.

Risk assessment in relation of contamination of vegetable production by human pathogens.

Evaluation of food safety aspects in relation to organic food production.
