Anna Lehrman

With a background in research on plant/insect interactions, plant breeding and various issues regarding genetic engineering, I continued my work at SLU within communication. In the autumn of 2020, I started as fundraiser working with donations, collaborations and development.

Master of Philosophy in Biology at Lund University, Doctor of Entomology at SLU. During my PhD I focused on rapeseed genetically modified to resist the pollen beetle. During my postdoc I examined tri-trophic interactions in Salix. After that, I moved on to research communication, working as editor of Växtskyddsnotiser and Faktablad om växtskydd - jordbruk. During 2012-2020 I was head of communications in the reserach programme Mistra Biotech (and deputy programme director 2016-2020).
