Karolin Frykholm

Researcher at Chemical Biology

I am a researcher in the research group of Professor Fredrik Westerlund, where we are using nanochannels and fluorescence microscopy to study DNA at the single molecule level. Using methods developed in the group we can map long sequences of DNA and use this information for bacterial typing or plasmid identification. We can also detect specific genes, such as antibiotic resistance genes, carried by the plasmids.
