Dr. Tina S. Dalgaard has worked with veterinary immunology especially the avian immune system for over 20 years at the Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at Aarhus University, Denmark. Her research focuses on experimental models of infectious chicken diseases for evaluation of natural immunity as well as vaccine induced protection with a special interest in cell-mediated adaptive immune responses. Moreover, her work comprises studies of immunomodulatory interventions to improve disease control but also includes research to support understanding of the genetic background for natural disease resistance and optimal immunocompetence as well as biomarkers for general robustness/resilience.
