Tina Kabelitz

Tina Kabelitz is a Researcher at the Leibniz-Institut für Agrartechnik und Bioökonomie e.V. (ATB), leading the working group Infections and AMR in Farm Animals since September 2021. Her work integrates sensor technology, digitalization, and artificial intelligence to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in livestock systems through a One Health approach.

• Education:
  • PhD in Epigenetics of Plants (University of Potsdam, 2011-2015)
  • MSc Molecular and Cellular Biology (University of Potsdam, 2009-2011)
  • BSc Molecular Biology/Physiology (University of Potsdam, 2006-2009)

Her research focuses on antimicrobial resistance dynamics in livestock, particularly through environmental pathways in pig and poultry farming. She investigates resilient housing design for biosecurity and animal welfare, microbiome changes in manure storage, and machine learning-based mastitis risk assessment using multisensor systems. Her projects include LeibnizLabPP (pandemic preparedness), AirBarn (bioaerosol AMR transmission), ENVIRE (AMR control in chicken systems), and AMR-PIG (AMR spread mechanisms).

Recent publications analyze AMR gene dynamics in manure systems (2025), machine learning applications for mastitis prediction (2025), and environmental impacts of dairy farming mitigation strategies (2024). Her work emphasizes systemic solutions like anaerobic digestion plants and slurry injection techniques to reduce emissions.
