Current work place 

I am currently employed as a Post Doc fellow at the Center for Microbial Biotechnology (CMB), Department of Systems Biology, at the Technical Univeristy of Denmark. The position is funded by the Danish Research Counsil for Technology and Production (FTP) in the form of an individual three year Post Doc project.

Aim of my current project: To develop a technological platform that will allow for efficient construction of chimeric multizymes and hopefully novel bioactive compounds.

Research interests

My research mainly focus on fungal secondary metabolism (mycotoxins) and the development of new molecular biological tools for performing targeted gene/genome modifications in filamentous fungi.
