Unlocking the potential of aquatic extremophiles
A project to harness biology’s most resilient adaptations
Biotech potential
Microorganisms from extreme environments possess unique regulatory mechanisms that make them a valuable resource for biotech.
Bottlenecks in discovery
Sampling extreme environments and identifying interesting organisms is slow, expensive and has a high environmental footprint.
New approach
We will use state of the art techniques to develop new tools for efficient and sustainable exploration and exploitation of extreme environments.
