• 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
