Christoph Ratzke

PI

christoph.ratzke (at) cmfi.uni-tuebingen.de

Christoph's scientific interests range widely from biology to physics and everything in between. After studying biochemistry, he did his PhD in single-molecule biophysics, followed by a postdoc at the MIT to explore the secret life of microbe. (short CV)

Sarah Foster

Postdoc

sarah.foster (at) mikrobio.uni-tuebingen.de

Sarah studied Biology, Biochemistry and Physics at UPenn and did her PhD in Neurosciences in Cambridge. She is now exploring how we can measure microbial interactions directly in gut microbiota and use this information to cure infections.

Albane Ruaud

Postdoc

albane.ruaud (at) tuebingen.mpg.de

Albane has a background in microbiology and bioinformatics. During her PhD at the Max Planck Institute (Tübingen) she explored interactions between human gut microbes. Now she will build microbial communities with useful features.

Or Shalev-Skriptchak

Postdoc

or.shalev-skriptchak (at) uni-tuebingen.de

Or studied Plant Biotechnology at the Hebrew University and explored during his PhD at the Max Planck Institute in Tuebingen how microbes can protect plants. Now he aims to find out what genomes can tell us about microbial interactions.

Shubham Gajrani

PhD Student

shubhamgajrani4210 (at) gmail.com

With a background in microbiology and bioinformatics Shubham explores how microbial communities can protect from infections.

Fatima Jalil

PhD Student

fatima.jalil (at) uni-tuebingen.de

Fatima is a DAAD/HEC Pakistan scholar with a background in microbiology and immunology. She explores how we can image natural host-associated microbial communities.

Karl Ringger

PhD Student

karl.ringger (at) uni-tuebingen.de

Karl studied Math with a focus on Computer science and Bioinformatics at Brigham Young University. He aims to predict features of microbial systems.

Xiaozhou Ye

PhD Student

xiaozhou.ye (at) uni-tuebingen.de

Xiaozhou studied Biology and Physics in Bejing and investigates how properties of complex microbial communities emerge from the species interactions within them.
