Personlig profil

Kort præsentation

My research work focuses on monitoring and improving the health of insects.

Current Research

I currently work mainly with insects mass-produced for food and feed. Main species include the house cricket (Acheta domesticus), the common mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) and the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens).

- Development of bioassays to assess the development of traditional livestock viruses in insects for feed.

- Screening, isolation and production of potential beneficial bacteria for insect health.

- Identification and diagnosis of potential pathogens in mass produced insects. Development of bioassays to study the susceptibility of insects to protozoan, bacterial and fungal pathogenic threats.

Past research

Understanding the factors involved in disease transmission, health and well-being (development and productivity) in Honey Bees and wild bees.

Teaching

I am involved in teaching for various insect taxonomy, animal science and sustainable development courses both in Denmark and abroad.
