Peter Ruhdal Jensen

Peter Ruhdal Jensen is Professor at DTU's National Food Institute, leading the Research Group for Microbial Biotechnology and Biorefining. His research develops microbial platforms for sustainable production of chemicals, fuels, and food ingredients.

Research focuses on:

• Metabolic engineering of lactic acid bacteria
• Biorefinery processes
• Novel enzyme systems
• Microbial stress responses

Current projects include developing sugar platforms from agricultural residues and engineering bacteria for vitamin production. Recent work explores secretion systems in industrial microorganisms for improved bioprocessing.

Laboratory facilities support advanced microbial cultivation, genetic engineering, and metabolic analysis.
