Instructor
Professor and Director at Technical University of Denmark
Dr. Rene S. Hendriksen is a professor at the Technical University of Denmark's National Food Institute, where he serves as the director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Foodborne Pathogens and Genomics and the European Union Reference Laboratory in Antimicrobial Resistance. His research focuses on global epidemiology, surveillance, antimicrobial resistance, and the population structure of food and waterborne pathogens, including various Salmonella serovars, Campylobacter, E. coli, and Listeria monocytogenes. Dr. Hendriksen has been instrumental in advancing whole genome sequencing (WGS) methodologies, notably through initiatives like the Global Sewage Surveillance project aimed at monitoring infectious diseases globally. He has authored 96 peer-reviewed articles in international journals and collaborated with over 400 scientists from 42 countries. Additionally, he provides advisory services to major health organizations such as the European Commission and WHO, contributing significantly to public health policy and antimicrobial resistance strategies.
