Personal profile

Research

My team conducts research in medical and molecular microbiology, with a focus on how the human skin microbiome contributes to both health and disease, including skin disorders and implant-related infections. We also explore related areas such as antimicrobial resistance in bacterial pathogens, molecular epidemiology, host-pathogen interactions, microbiome editing, and the development of sequencing-based tools to study microbial communities.

  

Profile

I'm a researcher and Associate Professor at the Department of Biomedicine, Aarhus University, specializing in medical microbiology. My work focuses on how skin bacteria influence human health. I hold a PhD in microbiology and spent seven years at the Pasteur Institute in Paris and the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin. I’m also a research associate at Örebro University in Sweden.

Teaching

I teach medical microbiology, with a focus on clinical bacteriology, through lectures and practical courses for medical students (BSc level). I also co-organize an annual PhD course on host-pathogen/microbiome interactions.
