My main research interest is characterisation of the inflammatory response to various stimuli in pigs. This includes inflammation due to parasitic infections (Schistosoma japonicum, Trichuris suis and Ascaris suum) or foreign bodies mainly in the liver, intestine and skin and inflammatory reactions in the lung due to bacterial infections (Pasteurella multocida and Staphylococcus aureus) and the development of septicemia. I have worked with other animal species  such as rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens and fish in various research projects, both spontaneous diseases and lesions in specific infection trials. Currently, I am part of a project investigating causes of spontaneous deaths in Danish sows.

At AU Viborg I am teaching in the new veterinary medicine education. I teach within the subjects of anatomy (especially normal histology), general and special pathology. I participate in establishing necropsy rooms and histology labs, and I am part of developing a digital platform with slides for teaching histologi and histopathology. I supervise ph.D students and look foreward to supervising veterinary bachelor and master theses.

Besides teaching and research, I have worked with diagnostics for many years both macroscopic and histopathological diagnostics in many animal species, including forensic pathology.

I connection with the practical excersises in special pathology at AU Viborg, there will be a form of diagnostic service, so a full necropsy and necessary histopathologial examination will be done and replied on the animals received for teaching.
