As a part of Professor Lundqvist's group, my research focuses on applying in vitro methods on food items, food additives and food contact materials. This to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms that chemical pollutants, within the food items or packages, are causing.

Ongoing research projects:

In vitro-methods to monitor the presence of bioactive chemical pollutants in food packages

In vitro-methods to monitor the presence of bioactive chemical pollutants in milk

Recycled materials in food packaging and the risk of contamination by toxic chemicals - an integrated approach to combine the goals for food safety and circular economy
