Laboratory technician from Dalum Technical School in Odense. From 1996 employed at National Institute of Agricultural Sciences in Foulum, now Aarhus University Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (MBG)

Since my employment at Dpt. of Genetics and Biotechnology I have worked with e.g. genotyping in pigs, cattle, sheep, fish, bees etc. The lab work includes various methods for purification of blood, semen and tissue samples from animals to DNA. This DNA is then used for several analyses, depending on the interest. Through PCR and sequencing analyses with subsequent data analyses genes can be identified, that are of interest in farm animal breeding. Examples are related to disease resistance, fertility and calving abilities.
