معرفی
Lars Jelsbak is a Professor at the Department of Biotechnology and Biomedicine, Technical University of Denmark. His research focuses on plant beneficial microbes, microbiome engineering, and the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. He leads projects addressing sustainable agriculture through microbial solutions and combating antimicrobial resistance. Jelsbak supervises multiple PhD students and collaborates internationally on synthetic microbiome research and pathogen genomics.
Research Interests: Jelsbak’s work centers on engineering microbiomes to reduce agrochemical use and understanding Pseudomonas aeruginosa’s role in hospital infections. Key areas include secondary metabolite production in soil microbiomes and the evolution of high-risk bacterial clones.
Publications: His recent work explores mutator phenotypes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug resistance (2025), biofilm-based medical device testing (2025), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa’s pathogenic adaptations (2024–2023). Research highlights include synthetic community standards and antimicrobial resistance dynamics in clinical settings.
Awards: No scientific awards explicitly mentioned in the text.
Advising & Grants: Jelsbak supervises PhD projects on hydrogel biofilm combat, microbiological test methods for medical devices, and plasmid persistence in Aeromonas. He collaborates with institutions like Novo Nordisk and global research networks.
Labs/Teams: Affiliated with DTU Microbes Initiative and Center for Microbial Secondary Metabolites, focusing on microbial interactions and synthetic biology applications.
