Signe Bjerg Kristensen is driven by the desire to find out how the body works. How do the body’s cells fight an infection? And what are the molecular-biological mechanisms behind disease?

Alongside her studies, Signe Bjerg Kristensen has been a student advisor for new students. She is also an active member of the CELLskab student association at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics and works at the department’s Visiting Service, where she teaches upper-secondary school pupils how to conduct laboratory work. 

The HM Queen Margrethe II Travel Grant will enable Signe Bjerg Kristensen to study at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. She is looking forward to experiencing another university that also excels in the natural sciences.
