Research interests

We study microbial processes that affect the atmosphere and control nutrient cycles using the stable isotope technology. We also develop new tools for the high-throughput sequencing to characterize functions of millions of microbes or molecules at one shot, aiming to generate also wider application in microbiology and cell biology.

PlastLIFE biology
Project

Plastlife - Biology

Environmental and health impacts of biodegradable plastics will be assessed in laboratory experiments using model organisms, and biodegradability is tested in water environments.
Project

Re-thinking plastics in a sustainable circular economy (PlastLIFE)

PlastLIFE is an extensive national cooperation project funded by the EU LIFE programme to promote the circular economy of plastics.
