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)
Qiyun Liang
Postdoc
qiyun.liang (at) tuebingen.mpg.de
Qiyun did his PhD in marine microbiology at Shandong University and now investigates how unculturable microbes impact microbial communities.
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 investigates 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 studies how microbial communities are affected by the environment.
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 Peking University and now uses both to investigate how properties of complex microbial communities emerge from the species interactions within them. She is broadly interested in how ecology, evolution and physics create biological systems as they are.
