We are focused on the development of DNA microarrays for the taxonomic detection of cyanobacteria, and for the early detection of microbial resistance against antibiotics. We are dedicated to the use of human estrogen receptors and aryl hydrocarbon receptors for environmental monitoring. We perform cloning, expression and mutagenesis of these receptors. The quality control and their characterization is performed with our Biacore 3000 equipment. Within an European project we are investigating the possibilities to predict and characterize cyanobacterial blooms using microbial reporter strains.
Applications are welcome anytime.
