Research project ICEBIO: Start of the second project phase

The search for PhD students for the ICEBIO research project has now been successfully completed. The second phase of the project, which is now starting, will focus on training the PhD students for upcoming sampling and laboratory experiments.

ICEBIO is a PhD network that will train the next generation of experts in glacier microbiology and biogeochemistry. ICEBIO will provide a database of the functional diversity and potential of the glacier biome, which will not only greatly improve our understanding of a threatened biome, but also demonstrate the potential for exploiting economic and ecological services.

Dr. Brill + Partner GmbH will, among other things, provide a risk assessment regarding pathogenic organisms from the glacier biome, including the inclusion of bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
