Selected past events
Hatzenpichler Environmental Microbiology Lab
99% of microbes cannot be grown in the lab. We seek to understand what this "uncultured majority" is doing and how its activity shapes Earth's biogeochemical cycles and life on our planet.
Recent and upcoming events
If you are a highly motivated prospective grad student or postdoc candidate, please contact Roland by email. Prospective graduate students interested in microbiology, astrobiology, ecology, molecular biology, and biochemistry are encouraged to apply to both the Chem-Biochem and Molecular Biosciences Program.
May 20, New grant by the Simons Foundation's Origin of the Eukaryotic Cell Initiative will support our collaborative work on Asgard archaea. We are looking forward to working with the teams of Brett Baker, Thijs Ettema & Mark Ellisman. We are looking for a highly qualified postdoc to join us!
