Simon Bo Lassen serves as a Guest Researcher in the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in Microbial Ecology and Biotechnology. His research program investigates critical intersections between environmental systems and antimicrobial resistance dynamics across multiple ecosystems.
His primary research interests include:
- Antibiotic resistance transmission through environmental pathways
- Microbial community responses to agricultural practices
- Wastewater treatment impacts on microbial ecosystems
- Aquaculture systems and antibiotic resistance development
- Soil microbiome responses to climate variables
- Novel methods for tracking resistance genes in environmental samples
Dr. Lassen's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on understanding how human activities influence microbial communities and resistance patterns. His 2025 work examines antimicrobial resistance fluxes across wastewater-river interfaces and innovative pharmaceutical removal techniques, while his 2024-2022 research investigates farming system impacts on soil biodiversity and copper supplementation effects in swine production. These studies often involve multinational collaborations spanning Europe and Asia.
His research outputs have generated significant academic interest, with multiple publications accumulating substantial Scopus citations and Mendeley readership. Several papers have received attention from news outlets and social media platforms, particularly his work on antibiotic resistance in aquaculture systems which has attracted 94 Mendeley readers.
Dr. Lassen maintains active research collaborations across international boundaries, as evidenced by his co-authorship patterns and geographic research foci spanning European agricultural systems, Danish wastewater treatment facilities, and Bangladeshi aquaculture operations.
