Personal profile
Short presentation
My scientific interest primarily concerns the pathology and diseases of poultry, with focus on the pathogenesis and the host response. I have extensive experience on evaluating the clinical and pathological significance using experimental in vivo models in poultry.
Since 2016 my work has been focused on identifying the causal relationship and pathogenesis of keel bone fractures in laying hens.
