Biography

Janine Zara Bowring is an Assistant Professor at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in Food Safety and Zoonoses. Her research interests focus on understanding the interactions between bacteria and bacteriophages—viruses that infect bacteria. She investigates how these phages can kill bacterial hosts and the molecular mechanisms that facilitate the horizontal transfer of genes among bacteria. Over recent years, her projects have included studying novel routes of horizontal gene transfer mediated by staphylococcal phages, which infect staphylococci. Her work aims to find lytic phages that can overcome anti-phage defense systems like CRISPR-Cas in Staphylococcus aureus. Janine has collaborated extensively with researchers both locally and internationally, leveraging her expertise in bacteriophage biology to tackle significant challenges in food safety and zoonotic diseases.
