We are a passionate team of interdisciplinary scientists using cutting-edge tools from engineering and biology to advance knowledge and solutions to environmental challenges
In the Stocker lab, we spy on the lives of aquatic organisms. We specialise in the use of imaging to capture and quantify organismal behaviour, from microorganisms to fish, which we study by developing dedicated technology, including microfluidics.
During carbon starvation, motility may help bacteria to swim out of trouble, but at great energetic cost. Marine bacteria have developed two strategies…
When: In Person 16-20 June 2025, Online 16-19 June 2025 – Explore the fundamental principles of microfluidic technology and gain hands-on experience through…
Our Ecohydraulics Team has completed a study for the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) aimed at assessing the efficiency of fish…
The biogeochemical transformations and ecosystem functions of the oceans are governed by the activities and interactions of marine microbial communities. For instance, microbial…
Marine unicellular algae, also called phytoplankton, are key to the world’s oxygen production and form the foundation of oceanic ecosystems. These tiny creatures,…
Led by Jonasz Słomka Microbial communities impact human health, global biogeochemical cycles, and plant growth. Properties of microbial communities emerge from the interactions…
