LiMMat Seminar Series


"LiMMat", the Living Matter Seminar Series, is named for the river that runs through Zürich.

This interdisciplinary series is devoted to a broad range of topics related to the complexity of living systems, and is open to a wide audience of interested researchers from the Zürich area with background in the fields of physics and biology.

Organized by: Estelle Clerc (clerc@ifu.baug.ethz.ch)
François Peaudecerf (peaudecerf@ifu.baug.ethz.ch)
Jonasz Słomka (slomka@ifu.baug.ethz.ch)

Martin Polz is a Professor of Microbial Ecology at the University of Vienna. Professor Polz’s broad approach — combining field work, quantitative molecular approaches, genomics, physiology and modeling — has made key contributions to our understanding of the relationships between microbial community structure and function. His recent work includes novel observations of social behavior in natural microbial communities and new tools by which to define microbial populations by gene flow.
