Our Projects

In the microscopic world, organisms evolved molecular tools to thrive, fostering intricate exchanges of compounds as they adapt, grow, and symbiotically interact. Within this realm, our laboratory systematically unravels the biomolecular and biophysical mechanisms driving these processes while bridging between disciplines and scales. Employing microfluidics, microscopy, biochemistry, and computer simulations, we reveal the secrets of their adaptations and interactions and determine their impact on the environment.

The Biological Pump

The Biological Pump

We are interested in understanding how microbes orchestrate the flux of carbon through the ocean's biological pump.

Ocean of lost enzymes

Ocean of lost enzymes

We aim to unravel the molecular mechanisms employed by microbes as they modify their surroundings and influence ecosystem dynamics.

Microbial interactions

Microbial interactions

We are studying the chemical dialogue exchange and trade among marine microbes to determine the repercussions of these interactions on the environment.
