Lars Erik Larsen (born 1963) holds a full professorship in veterinary virology and has worked with virus infections in production animals for the last 20 years. He has been involved in research on swine viruses (diagnostic tools, molecular epidemiology, vaccinology and basic pathogenesis) for the last 15 years. Lars has participated in several national and European projects on enzootic swine viruses with focus on PRRSV, PCV-2 and swine influenza virus. He is the head of the enzootic/zoonotic virus research group at UCPH and are scientifically responsible for the national surveillance program for Avian and Swine influenza viruses and chairs the Danish expert committee for avian influenza and Newcastle disease viruses.
