Research interests
- Antimicrobials, antimicrobial resistance and evolution
- Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is a key player in the global spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Our studies involve comparative molecular epidemiological studies (whole genome sequencing and metagenomics), pheno- and genotypic associations in pathogenicity and antimicrobial susceptibility (GWAS and machine learning), as well as preclinical effectstudies of bacteriophages in the containment of carriage of and infections caused by multidrug resistant Kp. Kp-studies are funded by the Trond Mohn Foundation ( https://mohnfoundation.no/amr-prosjekter/) and partner institutions.
- Program director, Centre for New Antibacterial Strategies (CANS; https://uit.no/research/cans): En interdisiplinary research center funded by UiT and the Tromsø Research Foundation (https://tfstiftelse.no/) 2019-.
- Medical Director, National Norwegian Advisory Unit in Detection of Antimicrobial Resistance (K-res; https://unn.no/fag-og-forskning/k-res) at the University Hospital of North-Norway (UNN) funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Health, the Northern Regional Health Authority, and UNN.
