Vivi Schlünssen has been appointed professor at the Department of Public Health at Aarhus University. In her work, she focuses on how current environmental impacts and environmental impacts from earlier in life and among previous generations affect the health of the population. The new professor investigates how biological dust can both cause lung disease but also protect against certain diseases – depending on the volume, type and diversity of micro-organisms in the environment.
Vivi Schlünssen’s research focuses on identifying risk factors for disease and providing the best conditions for people of working age who suffer from a chronic illness. She hopes that her research can contribute to a better understanding of how and why environmental impacts, including biological dust, can have such a diverse effect on people.
