Alice will be helping Flora with her soon-to-become massive experiment. And Géraldine is working on a Master project looking at species invasions into our well-studied community. Welcome to both of you!

OK, it was a bit far to drive, but totally worth it! We ate incredibly good food, took a swim in the Mediterranean and explored the town of Begur. We even managed to squeeze in some science: there were poster presentations from research done in 2029 🙂

… for her third internship in the lab! She is slowly becoming a key member. We will be enjoying her presence until June this time.

Congratulations to Andrea and Maria for completing their Master theses and doing such a great job at the defense and departmental presentations!

We will miss you, Maria!

We are excited to be expanding! Flora is a postdoc, and will be working on evolving small bacterial communities. Shota is starting his PhD on modeling microbial community stability and productivity. And for three months, we are also happy to have Avery here, visiting from Cornell University.

We spent two wonderful days in the mountains talking science, eating, drinking and hiking…

A virtual seminar presenting some of our recent work is now available to watch on the SIB website.

It’s super having Afra here until the end of the year to work on modeling antibiotic resistance! She is already integrating well!

We are very happy that our first theoretician, Björn Vessman has joined the lab!

Our group is now officially affiliated to the Swiss Institute for Bioinformatics
