Grit Life
My main research project is called 'Grit Life' funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and aims to uncover a novel and unique soil bound microbiological biocenosis called Grit Crust in the Atacama Desert of Chile, South America.
​
The project started in September 2021 and will last for three years.

Waste 2 Value
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) of Germany funded our project called Waste 2 Value with up to 16 mio € over six years starting in 2022. We aim to transfer the latest science to local industrial partners in order to create new jobs in biotechnology for Western Rhineland-Palatinate. It is our ambitious goal to upcycle industrial waste materials into chemical compounds of high value mediated by microorganisms such as cyanobacteria.
