My Research

With an MSc in Biology from one of the world's leading Universities and a parallel career as a sound engineer and live music promoter, I am never tired of finding new challenges and expanding my knowledge. Since 2015 I am employed at Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark, working on molecular epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus in livestock and humans.
