Research Overview

Alexander Probst ist a highly interdisciplinary researcher. As a trained microbiologist, whose research is dominated by bioinformatics, he is an appointed W3 professor at the Faculty of Chemistry. His research entangles primarily the One Health and Ecosystem Health aspect, addresses fundamental questions in ecophysiology of microorganisms and viruses, deals with deep groundwater and the deep biosphere in general, and focuses on aspects of biodiversity and global dispersal of microbes across aquatic ecosystems.
