"I work on how environmental contaminants effect microbiomes to better understand their impact on human health and the environment"
Albert Juan Fuglsang-Madsen Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability
Antimicrobials | Infection Microbiology | in vitro infection models
“I study the progression of disease in vitro by applying clinical isolates, genetically modified pathogens or laboratory pathogen strains to in vitro-matured, differentiated human lung tissue. In our research group, we study host:pathogen interactions, and I specifically am interested in investigating how we might apply antimicrobials to combat chronic, difficult-to-treat infections.”
