Give our new project account a follow to stay up-to-date with the consortiums progress!
Wonder what it takes to sample 50 lakes in Greenland?

Back in the office after weeks of fieldwork, our minds are still with the calm waters of this beautiful lake near Kangerlussuaq.

We shared stories from our recent sampling campaign on our blog — take a look!

🧊 My last PhD paper is out!
We explored what microbes on the Greenland Ice Sheet are actually doing with their biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), the genetic blueprints for producing natural products.

Back in the Arctic for fieldwork! This time for the CLIMET project, studying methane cycling in Greenland lakes 🦠

Excited to share that I’ll soon start as a postdoc at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW)!

As part of the CLIMET project, I will investigate microbial methane consumption in Greenlandic lakes.

I'm looking for a post doc position!
I want to contribute to research that helps solve the big problems the world faces, and bring experience in environmental microbiology in extreme environments, natural product research, synthetic and molecular biology.
Welcome to share!
