Recently, as a consortium member, his group has completed a H2020 project, named SWINOSTICS in which they have developed a point-of-care diagnostic device for the detection of several porcine viruses. Currently they are involved in an EU ICRAD project aiming to introduce the Nanopore sequencing technology in the routine diagnostics of porcine viruses. He is supervising the work of 3 PhD students in topics of digital pathology, porcine molecular virology with special focus on PRRSV and APPV, Porcine parainfluenzavirus-1, as well as porcine circo and parvoviruses.
