In the formulation area, we conduct research to understand how product functionality can be designed by combining the right ingredients and processes. We work with food and pharmaceutical products but the knowledge we gain is applicable in  wider areas such as cosmetics and material science. The research is based on two technology areas: surface and colloidal science and powder technology. The gro

Forensic DNA analysisForensic DNA analysis has become an important tool in the investigation of crime. It can be used to connect a suspect to a crime scene as well as to exonerate innocent persons. Any human tissue type found on any material can be used as evidence. With samples that are heterogeneous and often impure, the analysis is a challenge. The research at Applied Microbiology is aimed at i

The surge of omics data in microbiology constitutes a huge challenge while opening up tremendous opportunities to study microbial physiology and microbial communities in unprecedented detail. In our group, we use state-of-the art bioinformatics tools to process and analyse different types of omics data, including whole-genome sequencing, metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metabolomics. We also

The research of the Food hygiene group is divided into two parallel parts, one focused on medicine and the other on food hygiene. However, the parallel research areas have a strong interaction and a common denominator in the form of harmful and beneficial bacteria and how they can affect our well-being. The gut microbiome has attracted increasing attention in the areas of scientific and medical re
