Exploring the built environment microbiomes of Norwegian nursery schools and nursing homes
We spend much of our lives indoors where we interact with building microbiomes. We have developed methodologies to identify the microbes to which target groups are routinely exposed.

Immuno-microbial signatures in colorectal cancer
The project aims to define immuno-microbial signatures that can be used for non-invasive detection of colorectal cancer and pre-cancer stages.
