About My Science

The ocean covers 71% of the Earth’s surface, and microbes constitute somewhere between 50 and 90% of all ocean biomass. This represents millions of species – especially astonishing considering we can count the number we have in culture in the mere thousands. My research as a Postdoctoral Fellow at C-MORE focuses on elucidating the biochemical potential of this “uncultured majority” and expanding our knowledge of the role these microbes play in our oceans.
