Johanna U Ericson


Job description

Johanna U Ericson (Fil.dr.) is professor in Microbiology at the Department of Medical Biology, Researchgroup Host-Microbe Interaction (HMI). Her research concerns determinants for staphylococcal colonisation of healthy human skin. In addition she is partner in the cross-faculty "DigiBiotics" project aiming to find new antimicrobial molecules. She is also a https://en.uit.no/ansatte/person?p_document_id=41904. Johanna U Ericson is also vice-director of "National Graduate School in Infection Biology and Antimicrobials (IBA)".
