Ingrid Undeland
Professor Ingrid Undeland is a research group leader at the Division of Food and Nutrition Science, Department of Life Sciences at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. She is also Assistant Head of Department within the area of research utilization. Her background is in food science from the Linnaeus University, and she holds a PhD-degree in bioscience from Chalmers University of technology and SIK (nowadays RISE). Between 1999-2002, she was a post-doc fellow at University of Massachusetts Marine Station. The overall aim of her research is to pave the way for a next generation seafood by contributing to new value chains from e.g., seaweed, small pelagic fish species, fish side streams, mussels and microalgae. She specializes within marine lipids and proteins; particularly on their stabilization; their isolation from complex sources, as well as their digestibility and nutritional properties. She has long experience from antioxidant strategies comprising e.g. plant-derived side streams or extracts, from fundamental studies of fish hemoglobins as pro-oxidants, from different modes of biomass fractionation to build blue biorefineries, from in vitro digestion models and from general (sea)food analytics. Outside the marine area, she also engages in research on filamentous fungi as sustainable food protein sources. Professor Undeland has authored ~160 peer reviewed papers, ~15 book chapters, >50 popular science articles, 4 patents and has delivered ~30 invited/keynote lectures. She has an H-index of 44 according to Google Scholar. Professor Undeland is the Swedish representative in Nordic Lipidforum, WEFTA, and EuCheMS and is Editorial board member of Journal of the Aquatic Food Product Technology. She is also co-founder of the startup company AquaFood. (Sea)food Science Professor Undeland has supervised/currently supervises in total 22 PhD-students, 12 postdoctoral researchers and has examined > 25 MSc-students. Ongoing PhD-students - Main supervisor: PhD student co-supervisor: Ongoing Post Docs Master students: Professor Undeland also has laboratory technicians (Dr Karin Larsson, Dr Rikard Fristedt) associated with the group.
