Analysis of microbiomes and of the functionally most relevant isolates following the overarching theme “from genome to function”
Portfolio: Bioinformatic analysis and integration of functional genomics data types (genome sequences, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics data, etc.), including also comparative genomics analyses. Participation in national and international research consortia (e.g. on the analysis of compost microbiomes, the analysis and characterization of biocontrol strains with the aim to reduce pesticide use and of plant growth promoting strains). Synergies with 3rd party funded research: development of integrated model systems to elucidate the development of antibiotics resistance and biofilm formation; development of methods to improve accurate and comprehensive genome annotation of prokaryotic organisms; identification of novel biocontrol genes and peptides with antimicrobial function.
Thematic focus: prokaryotes, biocontrol, plant growth promotion, plant-microbe interaction, fermented foods, antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation
Methodologial focus: De novo genome assembly, synergy genomics and metagenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, integrated data analysis, unravel mechanisms of action
