Anke Meyerdierks

Anke Meyerdierks is a Project Leader in the Department of Molecular Ecology at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany. Her research focuses on the molecular ecology of free-living microbial communities at hydrothermal vents, investigating their roles in marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles.

She is affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, which explores microbial processes in oceans and their impact on global element cycles. Her work contributes to understanding microbial diversity and functionality in extreme environments, particularly hydrothermal vent systems.
