Laboratory for Biological Geochemistry

The Laboratory of Biological Geochemistry at EPFL focuses on investigating biological processes at the sub-cellular level using cutting-edge micro-analytical tools. They utilize isotopic labeling techniques and state-of-the-art instruments like NanoSIMS to study metabolic interactions in corals, symbiotic relationships in cnidarians, and the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems. The lab collaborates closely with the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Lausanne, enhancing their research capabilities and contributing to a deeper understanding of biogeochemical processes.
