Research Group: Environmental Microbial Genomics
Lars Hestbjerg Hansens gruppe Environmental Microbial Genomics har ekspertise i at udføre skræddersyede genomiske og metagenomiske studier ved hjælp af in-house high-throughput og full-genome sekventering (Illumina og Nanopore sekventeringsapparater) af prokaryote og eukaryote organismer.
Gruppen bruger informationen baseret på sekvensanalyse til at beskrive genomiske karaktertræk af mikrobielle nøglearter samt til at undersøge deres tilstedeværelse i naturlige og kunstige miljøer og metagenomer. Blandt andet bruges informationer om, hvordan bakteriofager og andre mobile genetiske elementer har formet mikrobiel evolution og egenskaber. Gruppens aktiviteter breder sig over mikrober i natur, landbrug og sundhedsrelaterede systemer.
- Phyllosphere hub species and bacteriophages as biocontrol agents in agriculture
- The use of alterative bases in bacteriophage genomes
- Manipulating gut microbiomes via FMT or bacteriophage therapy
- The genetic origin of antibiotic resistance
- Mobility of genetic parasites and their role in shaping bacterial evolution
- Microbiomics, mobilomics and viromics
- Epigenetics in bacteria and bacteriophages
- The MATRIX: Microbiome Assisted Triticum Resilience In X- dimensions”. Novo Nordisk Foundation DKK 62.5 M.
- MicroHealth: Fecal MICRObiota transplant technology for human HEALTH”. Innovation Fund Denmark DKK 11.5 M (total 20 M).
- New letters to the DNA alphabet: Identification and characterization of novel nucleic acids in bacteriophages. Human Frontier Science Program Grant (DKK 6 M), and Villum Experiment (DKK 2 M).
- Searching for epigenetic patterns: Applying and optimizing nanopore-based sequencing technology to detect and describe epigenetic patterns in bacteriophages and bacterial persister cells. Partly financed by a Lundbeck Experiment Grant (DKK 2 M).
- AutoPhage: Automation to revolutionize bacteriophage isolation and characterization; a novel project to rapidly lower costs and speed up phage work by employing automation. Funded by an individual FTP Postdoc Grant (DKK 1.4 M).
- Bacteriophage biocontrol 1: Using bacteriophages as a green-tech alternative to conventional pesticide treatment.
- Bacteriophage biocontrol 2: Application and formulation of bacteriophages for controlling bacterial plant pathogens in agricultural practices.
- Mobilome dynamics: Deciphering the dynamics involved in mobilization of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) among environmental bacteria in order to predict the potential risk within spread of resistance.
- Integrating research and education: Integrating research on genomics of bacterial plant pathogens into the MSc course Applied Microbiology. Funded by a Grant of DKK 50.000
