The research work conducted in Professor Miia Lindström's research group focuses on molecular biology, ecology, epidemiology, and evolution of food-borne pathogenic bacteria with specific interests in:
- Diagnostics, epidemiology, food safety aspects, and biology of Clostridium botulinum
- Genomics and adaptation of Listeria monocytogenes and Bacillus cereus in the dairy chain
- Molecular epidemiology of enterotoxigenic Clostridium perfringens
Professor Lindström has received a europa.eu/funding/consolidator-grants">European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant and a research funding from the (Academy Research Project). These two projects are now complementing other ongoing research activities and benefit from existing partnerships with various international laboratories and research cooperation networks.
