Biography

Jens Jørgen Sloth is a Professor and Head of the Research Group at the Technical University of Denmark, focusing on Analytical Food Chemistry. His research primarily investigates the presence, metabolism, and bioavailability of essential and potentially toxic trace elements in foodstuffs and biological systems. He has a strong interest in developing advanced analytical methodologies aimed at trace element speciation analysis in biological samples, utilizing chromatographic separation techniques combined with element-specific detectors like Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS). Jens has a particular focus on arsenic analysis, exploring naturally occurring arsenic species, and is actively engaged in the analytical characterization of nanoparticles for food safety assessments. His contributions also extend to advising national and international authorities on trace element analysis and dietary exposure. He has held various significant positions, including senior scientist and has been actively involved in multiple research projects and committees related to food safety and analytical chemistry.
