Norbert Ács

Norbert Ács is a Research Fellow in the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, specializing in the Food Safety and Zoonoses research group. His work addresses critical intersections of veterinary science, microbial control, and public health through advanced bacteriophage methodologies.

His research focuses on Microbiology, Bacteriophage Research, Food Safety, Zoonotic Diseases, and Veterinary Science, with emphasis on developing precise detection and quantification techniques for bacteriophages. These methods are pivotal for monitoring bacterial pathogens in food production and agricultural ecosystems, directly supporting safer food supply chains.

Dr. Ács's 2020 review in Frontiers in Microbiology established foundational frameworks for phage enumeration, gaining significant traction with 91 Scopus citations and 388 Mendeley readers. This work underscores growing industry reliance on phage-based technologies for pathogen surveillance and food safety validation.

He operates within the Food Safety and Zoonoses unit at Stigbøjlen 4, Frederiksberg, collaborating on interdisciplinary projects to mitigate zoonotic transmission risks and enhance diagnostic protocols for animal-derived food products.
