Welcome to our research group Aquatic Ecology

The research questions in our group are broadly distributed and range from the maintenance of sex to how thermal stress influences immune function in aquatic animals. We have a strong interest in key question of basic research in the field of evolutionary biology, but also engage in applied topics. We achieve our goals by working in the field, as well as in the lab. In general we try to answer question with an experimental approach (field or lab experiments) but we also do a lot of our investigations in the molecular lab.

We are part of the Institute of Integrative Biology (IBZ) and the Department of Environmental Systems Science (D-USYS) at ETH Zürich. We also belong to Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Research & Technology in Dübendorf, where our wet labs, offices and molecular labs are located.
