Professor Nina Cedergreen

Professor, Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen

Nina Cedergreens research has focussed on mixture and cocktail effects: how the combined effects of chemicals and other stressors can be predicted, and when mixtures act synergistically to produce larger effects than expected. Currently Nina Cedergreen hosts a 6 year NNF grant on The Safety of Biotechnological Plant Protection Products based on RNA and Peptide Technologies (ENSAFE.dk), creating the scientific foundation, methods and tools to evaluate the environmental safety of these new second-generation biopesticides. Her interests include chemical mode of action, risk assessment and natural bioactive compounds. She teaches toxicology and ecotoxicology at BSc, MSc and PhD level.

Carsten Suhr Jacobsen, ENVP 2026 Organising Committte

Professor Carsten Suhr Jacobsen

Head of the Department of Environmental Science, Aarhus University, Denmark

Carsten Suhr Jacobsen is a professor at Aarhus University, Denmark, specializing in environmental microbiology with a focus on ecosystems influenced by human made chemicals. He has been involved in several large projects aimed at understanding the interactions between microbial communities and their environments, with the goal of protecting soil health and water quality. Professor Jacobsen’s work employs advanced techniques, including multi-omics and microbial ecology tools, to explore how microbial processes can be harnessed for environmental restoration and ecosystem resilience. His research contributes to a better understanding of how soil microbes play a crucial role in nutrient cycling, soil structure, and plant health, especially in the context of mitigating the negative impacts of pesticides and other pollutants. His research projects, such as EMBARQ, GENEPEASE and INTERACT, focus on leveraging microbial functions in soil and groundwater ecosystems.
