Profile

My research in meat quality include responses/status of the live animals prior to slaughter affecting processes post mortem when muscle is turned into meat. Areas of special interest include oxidative status, stress, metabolically active compounds, and plant metabolites.

I carry out animal experiments combined with model systems of e.g. primary culture cells to investigate mechanisms related to the focus areas.

Presently I work on two projects investigating 1) mobility of water in relation to water holding capacity, including effects of creatine supplement and 2) effects of plant metabolites on cellular stress.
