Leonard Rößler

Leonard Rößler is a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany, affiliated with the MARUM MPG Bridge Group Marine Glycobiology led by Dr. Jan-Hendrik Hehemann. This collaborative research group between the Max Planck Institute and MARUM (Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen) investigates algal polysaccharides and their critical role in ocean carbon storage.

The research focuses on how complex sugar molecules produced by marine algae influence the biological carbon pump and ultimately affect global climate regulation. This work bridges marine microbiology, biochemistry, and biogeochemistry to understand fundamental processes in ocean carbon cycling.

Rößler works from office space 2126 at the institute's Celsiusstr. 1 location in Bremen, contributing to this specialized research area that examines the molecular mechanisms through which marine organisms process and store carbon.
