Me and My Research

Brief introduction:

I'm a senior scientist based at Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark at the Department of Microbiology and Infection Control.

Together with excellent colleagues, I have in few years contributed significantly to what today is known about Blastocystis, an intestinal parasite of unknown clinical significance colonising/infecting hundreds of millions of people in both developed and developing countries. I have published about 55 seminal and review articles in peer-reviewed, international journals focussing entirely or partly on Blastocystis.

During my PhD I took the initiative to standardise Blastocystis terminology and evaluate diagnostic methods; I managed to cross correlate and interpret a vast pool of molecular data from different research labs. Thanks to these efforts, researchers across the globe now employ the same terminology for Blastocystis, and a clear picture of the relative distribution of different subtypes in various cohorts in various countries is now building up.

I have detected and delineated several new species (ribosomal lineages) of protistan genera such as Entamoeba, Iodamoeba and Blastocystis, and I was the first ever to report on Dientamoeba fragilis in Denmark.

Output from my research has provided incentive for improving routine diagnosis of intestinal parasites and has resulted in the implementation of novel, DNA-based methods for the routine screening of patients with diarrhoea for intestinal parasites of clinical relevance. My research has had a major impact on current guidelines for the detection of intestinal parasites and offers a critical approach to the implementation of novel technology in different fields of clinical microbiology.

I have been able to attract substantial funding by myself and in collaboration with colleagues.

Ongoing research in our lab also includes a randomised controlled treatment study of Dientamoeba fragilis infections in children in Denmark.

I have supervised dozens of Bachelor and MSc students, and co-supervised PhD students.
