Our research laboratory is dedicated to exploring the microbial world of aquatic ecosystems. Our work focuses on understanding the role of microorganisms in environmental processes, from nutrient cycling to ecosystem resilience in the face of environmental change and human activities. By combining cutting-edge microbiology with ecological research, we aim to advance scientific knowledge and support sustainable water resource management.
Join us in uncovering the unseen forces shaping our planet's waters!

Although there is no open position at the moment, we always welcome spontaneous applications. We can also discuss and help with future funding opportunities and potential projects.
“Understanding the way the river moves through the environment, that can give us an idea of what it’s naturally capable of doing. Like, what can it filter, what can it process? And then, how are the urban spaces impacting that natural process?” - Elizabeth Grater, M.Sc.
