We are exploring the physiological and evolutionary adaptations of plants to various stress factors in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. A key focus is understanding the central role of the microbiome—the microorganisms residing in/on plants—in the development of plant stress defense mechanisms.

Thomas Bosch is Senior Professor of Zoology at the University of Kiel, Germany. He is an evolutionary developmental biologist and has been working for many years on the evolution of the immune system, in particular the role of microorganisms in the evolution and development of animals and humans. In 2016 he founded the Collaborative Research Center 1182 “Origin and Function of Metaorganisms” at Kiel University. He uses Hydra as a model system to understand the evolution of host-microbe interactions.
