Our research lab explores microbial biodiversity at both the phylogenetic and functional levels. Our objective is to discover novel microbial clades and gene families through the study of environmental DNA (metagenomes) obtained from microbial communities.

Our laboratory is also interested in understanding and modelling the dynamics of the rare biosphere. The rare biosphere comprises the diverse community of microorganisms that are present in low abundance in different environments, yet can have significant ecological roles and may represent an untapped reservoir of genetic diversity. For this, we combine bioinformatic analysis and cutting-edge techniques such as targeted sequencing to explore the diversity and functions of rare microorganisms. Our research aims to uncover the hidden biodiversity of microbial communities and shed light on the ecological and evolutionary factors that govern the rare biosphere, and their role in ecological functioning.
