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.
How do microbes survive and thrive in heterogeneous environments where nutrient concentrations fluctuate in space and time? In collaboration with Martin Pilhofer’s group…
Keywords Water resources, groundwater, arsenic fate in soil, numerical modeling Description Groundwater arsenic of natural origin is a global issue affecting the health…
How do microbial behaviour and interactions influence carbon storage in the deep sea? An international team of researchers, co-led by Professor Roman Stocker,…
Bacteria play pivotal roles in most chemical processes on our planet. Many bacterial species are motile, swimming using large appendices called flagella, and…
Led by Joaquin Jimenez-Martinez Soils represent the interface between surface and subsurface water resources, hosting processes critical to the hydrological cycle, to the climate…
Led by Jonasz Słomka Microbial communities impact human health, global biogeochemical cycles, and plant growth. Properties of microbial communities emerge from the interactions…
