Welcome to the MicreauLab
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!
