معرفی
Martin Hedström is a Senior Lecturer and researcher at Lund University, affiliated with the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and the Division of Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology. He works within the Department of Process and Life Science Engineering and is a key member of the Lund University Pre-Pilot Plant (LUPPP) infrastructure, where he serves as a manager. His research is aligned with several UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to sustainable food systems and health.
His research interests center on biotechnology, biosensors, food science, and sustainable development. He specializes in developing capacitive biosensors for protein and DNA detection, as well as improving the nutritional quality of plant-based foods, especially oats. His work integrates analytical chemistry, microbiology, and process engineering to address challenges in food safety and health.
The most recent publications highlight a strong trend in capacitive biosensing for rapid, label-free detection of biomolecules (e.g., proteins, DNA, mycotoxins), alongside innovations in food processing to enhance dietary fiber content. His work bridges fundamental biotechnological methods with practical applications in food and medical diagnostics.
