معرفی
Prof. Leo Eberl is a Full Professor of Microbiology at the University of Zurich's Institute for Plant and Microbial Biology (Mathematisch-naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät). His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of microbial adaptation, particularly in Burkholderia species, exploring pathogenicity, symbiosis, and biofilm formation. He leads a research group investigating bacterial interactions with hosts, environmental stress responses, and the development of biocontrol strategies. Eberl teaches courses such as 'Social Behaviour of Bacteria,' 'Mikrobiologie, Immunologie, Virologie,' and 'Systemic Microbiology,' and supervises numerous PhD and master’s students. His work bridges fundamental microbiology with applied research in agriculture and medicine.
- Education: Career details indicate academic progression from Assistant Professor (2003) to Ordinarius Professor (2006).
- Research Interests: Bacterial pathogenesis, quorum sensing, biofilm dynamics, and microbial symbiosis.
- Teaching: Offers advanced courses in microbiology, including lab modules and seminars on current research.
Key projects include investigating Burkholderia species’ roles in plant and animal health, membrane vesicle functions, and the genetic basis of bacterial competition. Collaborations span institutions like the University of Paris-Saclay and the University of Montpellier.
