Biography

Lars Jelsbak's research focuses on plant beneficial microbes and microbiomes, aiming to find microbial solutions that support plant health. His key areas include microbe and microbiome engineering, secondary metabolite production, and the signaling processes of soil and rhizosphere microbiomes that relate to the expression and control of plant beneficial activities. An overarching goal of his work is to contribute to the reduction of agrochemicals in agriculture. Additionally, Jelsbak works on antibiotic-resistant strains, specifically investigating the epidemic “high-risk clones” of the hospital pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, aiming to determine the target molecular mechanisms underlying the evolution and success of these clones. His expertise aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals set in 2015, which encompasses efforts to end poverty and protect the planet while ensuring prosperity for all.
