“What we know is a drop, what we don’t know is an ocean.”
Isaac Newton

Many processes in our oceans happen in a hidden dimension out of view – by means of chemical communication. I want to understand how natural abiotic fluctuations and climate change are affecting the chemical language of life in the ocean and if there are ways of mitigating future impacts.

++ Latest News ++. The last weeks has been very exciting: Anja gave her first flash talk + poster presentation at the UFT Center for Environmental Research and Sustainable Technology Day, and we have been invited to join the European Network In CHemical Ecology (E-NICHE) COST Action. We also moved to the brand-new offices & laboratories in the BIOM building and are busy setting everything up! Besides maintaining the comfortable home for a number of different biofilm-forming benthic diatom strains and their bacterial co-habitants, Lena has started to tease them apart, and Anja currently develops a way to unravel their exchange of metabolites.
May will come with even more excitement: we will welcome Joel as our 2nd PhD of the DIALMOD project and Christina will give an invited scientific talk and a public lecture open to all at the CHEMT24 in Dresden.
