Christian Furbo Reeder

Christian Furbo Reeder is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellow at Linnaeus University, affiliated with the Department of Biology and Environmental Science under the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. His research explores microbial interactions in aquatic ecosystems, focusing on nitrogen fixation and carbon cycling.

• Research Groups: Ecochange, Linnaeus University Centre for Ecology and Evolution in Microbial model Systems (EEMiS), Marine Phytoplankton Ecology and Applications (MPEA)

Research Focus: Investigates how particle-associated diazotrophs influence nitrogen fixation in the ocean's biological pump, with implications for climate change and oxygen-depleted zones. Combines fieldwork, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and single-cell targeting techniques.

Teaching: Supervised bachelor's and master's students in theses and projects, and participated in Citizen Science outreach initiatives.

Scientific Awards:

• Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship

Current Projects: Leads NIPROFEED (unraveling nitrogen fixation-primary production feedback loops) and Marine Snow (studying sinking particles' microbial processes).
