With the support of ATEM, the BVBGR and the LMBA teams, organize bi-annually the Biodesert expeditions for the exploration and exploitation of mircobial ressources in extreme environments. These expeditions began in 2007 with close collaboration with the University of Milan, Italy (Prof. Daniele DAFFONCHIO) and the University of Iaonnina (Greece), in the ambit of the European project BIODESERT.
