Birgitte Moen

I am a researcher at the department of Food safety and quality, where I have been employed as a researcher since 2005. My field of research is molecular microbiology. I mainly work with microbiota analyses in food and the environment, for example, by studying the development of bacterial composition in food under various packaging/storage conditions. I also work with whole genome sequencing of bacteria to study survival and persistence in the food industry. EDUCATION Dr.scient/Ph.D (Biotecknology, 2005). The Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Department of Chemistry, Biotechnology and Food Science. Thesis: “Stress responses and survival mechanisms of food related bacteria – an explorative study”. Cand.scient (Biotechnology, 2001). The Agricultural University of Norway (now called the Norwegian University of Life Sciences).
