Welcome to the Microverse
In Jena, we combine our expertise in life, optical, material and computational sciences to investigate the dynamic balance of microbial communities in various habitats, from the molecular to the ecosystem level. We study the molecules mediating the complex interactions amongst microorganisms and with their hosts and the environment. The conference brings together leading experts and many young scientists to discuss the most recent advances in microbial communication, host-microbiome interactions and environmental microbiomes, addressing some of the global challenges we face today.
