Research
1. Performing microbial analyses of food and feed samples; mould, yeast and bacteria identification
2. Development of methods Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) as a method for identifying moulds associated with Swedish food and feed (Su-lin Hedén, Society for Research in Veterinary Medicine, Ivar and Elsa Sandberg fund; and Carl-Tryggers Foundation).
