The working group of Ecosystem Data Science transforms the areas of biodiversity assessment and ecosystem functions with internationally renowned expertise in data sciences.
This includes high-dimensional, multidisciplinary and complex data analysis including the development of bioinformatics tools, data integration, and visualization and includes different data types from molecular data [(meta-)omics] to spatially and temporally resolved observations – for example by remote sensing or geographical information. Concepts for data integration will be communicated with empirical and theoretical researchers.
The HIFMB podcast introduces the people behind the research. Listen to the episode featuring Meren here:

From Coral Reefs to Human Guts: Stress is Stress
What makes human guts and coral reefs similar? They have no shared microbial taxa, shared host(s), or timescales, but they are both extremely complex ecosystems that offer the same microbial readouts when they are disturbed, and that has implications on where we should NOT look for answers.
