Jan Sørensen is a seasoned researcher in the field of Microbial Ecology and Biotechnology, with a focus on environmental soil microbiology and the bacterial degradation of xenobiotics including pesticides and oil products. He completed his MSc, Licentiate, and Doctorate at the University of Aarhus, with his early research on the phosphorus cycling in lake sediments and bacterial denitrification in seafloor environments. After a postdoctoral fellowship at Michigan State University, he contributed significantly to the Department of Genetics and Microbiology at Aarhus University before joining the Royal Veterinary Agricultural University, now part of the University of Copenhagen, where he has been a professor since 1989. His research interests include elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of bacterial metabolism under natural soil conditions and developing bio-industrial processes utilizing soil bacteria for plant protection and biopolymer production. Jan has led major projects funded by prominent foundations and has published over 125 scientific papers, establishing himself as a key figure in microbial ecological research.
