The IAMM Project is a collaboration of four research groups on three continents with combined expertise in ecology, limnology\/oceanography, biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, physics and computational biology.\u00a0 Each participating laboratory contributes a unique expertise in order to investigate how environmentally-relevant microbes interact in a marine setting.<\/p>\n

Grossart Lab<\/strong><\/p>\n PI: Hans-Peter Grossart, Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries<\/p>\n The Grossart lab studies the biology of diatoms, cyanobacteria, and heterotophic marine bacteria and contributes extensive knowledge about the ecology of marine ecosystems.<\/p>\n Lab website: http:\/\/www.lake-lab.de\/index.php\/welcome-to-the-lake-laboratory.html<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Segr\u00e8 Lab<\/strong><\/p>\n PI: Daniel Segr\u00e8, Boston University<\/p>\n The Segr\u00e8 lab contributes a computational driven approach for the investigation of metabolic interactions between species in a marine microbial community. \u00a0 This expertise can be used to construct genome scale dynamic flux balance analysis modeling of organisms and to predict the interactions of microbes based on these models.<\/p>\n Lab website: http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/segrelab\/<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sher Lab<\/strong><\/p>\n PI: Daniel Sher, University of Haifa<\/p>\n The Sher lab focuses on marine chemical ecology, including the chemical interactions between the photosynthetic prokaryote Prochlorococcus<\/em> and heterotrophic marine bacteria.<\/p>\n Lab website:\u00a0 http:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/research\/research-laboratories-and-projects\/marine-biology-laboratories\/marine-chemical-ecology<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Voss Lab<\/strong><\/p>\n PI: Maren Voss, Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research<\/span><\/p>\n The Voss lab contributes an analytical chemistry perspective in the form of NanoSIMS mass spectrometry which can be used to investigate the production and usage of metabolites, as well as the chemical communication between micro-organisms.<\/p>\n Lab website: https:\/\/www.io-warnemuende.de\/project\/161\/iamm.html<\/a><\/p>\n
