Rikke Louise Meyer is a professor at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (iNANO) at Aarhus University, Denmark, where she established her research group in 2005. Her research combines microbiology and nanoscience in the pursuit to understand the mechanisms of bacterial attachment and biofilm formation. She uses this knowledge to develop new strategies for biofilm control in collaboration with industry – either through development of new materials, discovery of new antibiotics, or targeted delivery of antimicrobial therapies.
