Welcome to Geobiology at the University of Illinois at Chicago!
In the EDGElab, we explore the interactions between microorganisms and their habitats, specifically in ecosystems that present environmental challenges. These include [but are not limited to], hydrothermal systems, high and low pH systems, systems that access the "deep, dark biosphere," and processes of biomineralization (biofilms, microbialites, microbial mats). We also think about Astrobiology and life in Early Earth environments, and how these relate to life on current Earth.
Please explore our lab!
