Forskningsinteresser
- Vert-mikrobe interaksjoner
- Staphylococcus aureus , MRSA og koagulase-negative stafylokokker
- S. aureus kolonisering og infeksjon
- Mikrobiom i nese, hals, hud og tarm
- Metagenomikk og transkriptomikk
- Antimicrobial resistance
- Diagnostikk i klinisk mikrobiologi
Hanssen undersøker bl.a. hvilke faktorer bakterien Staphylococcus aureus (gule stafylokokker) har og uttrykker ved kolonisering av nesen og halsen vha metoder som genomikk og transkriptomikk. Målet er å utvikle terapeutiske og diagnostiske strategier for å hindre kolonisering og behandle bakterielle infeksjoner.
