Dirk Linke

Dirk Linke is a Professor in Molecular Microbiology at the University of Oslo. A biochemist by training, he brings expertise in protein expression & purification, molecular and cellular binding assays, and in the cultivation of non-standard microorganisms to the consortium. The Linke group studies the mechanisms of host specificity, and of bacterial adhesion to host cells and non-living surfaces. The group works comparatively, trying to learn from the similarities and differences between different bacterial species.
