Environmental Microbiota Group

Principal investigator: Lasse Ruokolainen

The project concentrates on analysing the role of ecological processes in affecting the interaction between environmental opportunistic pathogens (by these I mean organisms that live freely in the environment, but are able to infect host individuals upon contact) and their hosts.

This work combines both theoretical analysis and microcosm experiments.
