We create and explore multiparametric environments to expand our understanding of the effects of physico-chemical perturbations on organisms in their natural habitat
Ongoing projects
Ecotoxicology-on-a-chip
We integrate microfabrication-based methods with assessments of single-cell physiological readouts (imaging, molecular readouts and chemical interrogations) into laboratory-on-a-chip approaches.
Unicellular phenotyping
To achieve economically viable products from microalgae and cyanobacteria we isolate specific phenotypes from heterogeneous populations of single cells via microfluidics.
Microenvironments structure microbial communities
Microscale environments shape and affect the functioning of microorganisms. We probe this connection using state-of-the-art tools.
