Objective

Our project is called OXYGEN. Our aim is to develop and use cutting-edge high-sensitivity oxygen detection systems to explore how oxygen regulates the metabolism of aerobic and anaerobic organisms in experimental systems and in nature. We will explore and understand the complex structure of low oxygen ecosystems on the present Earth, and the evolution of these ecosystems through time in the face of changing concentrations of atmospheric oxygen.
