My name is Charlotta and I´m a new lecturer in the Molecular Cell Biology unit. During the autumn 2015 semester I will work as a teacher in microbiology and molecular cell biology, e.g. in the BIOR18 Microbiology course.
I´m a food microbiologist with an MSc in Chemical Engineering (1999) and a PhD in Applied Microbiology (2005) from the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at LU. During 2007-2015 I worked as a teacher and researcher at the National Food Institute at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). My area of research is microbial food safety and especially development and implementation of nucleic acid based methods (qPCR, NGS etc.) for detection and characterization of foodborne zoonotic bacteria.
