Background

Method development concerning immunoassays for quantitative detection. Special interest in allergens and mycotoxins.
Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Østfold University College. Business economist from Trondheim Business School (TBS). Method development, validation, quality assurance and accreditation for methods such as different technigues of atomic absorption spectroscopy, HPLC and immunological methods for detection of food allergens. Some knowledge to molecular technics.
