Microorganisms in soil, water and air represent nearly all of the biodiversity on the planet. Known as Earth’s microbiome, they have strong control over climate and biogeochemical cycles. Researching this microbial world helps us better predict the effects of land use and climate change, and laying the groundwork for new environmental biotechnologies.
Our faculty are experts in:
- microbial pathogens and antibiotic resistance in soil and water
- microbial physiology
- multi-omics analysis (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics)
- plant-soil microbial feedbacks
