Biography
Anna Edlund has several years of experience in the research field of microbial ecology at the School of Dentistry, UCLA and at Stockholm University, Sweden. She is
an Assistant Professor at the J. Craig Venter Institute, USA. Her research has lead to the development of a unique oral in vitro bio-film model system where hundreds of
bacteria grow together as a community. By applying cutting-edge sequencing technologies, mass spectrometry and bioinformatics tools to this model system it has been
possible to identify novel genes, pathways and molecules with clinical and ecological significance.
