معرفی
Stefanie Imminger is a researcher at the Centre for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science, affiliated with the Department of Microbiology and Ecosystem Science. Her work focuses on microbial responses to environmental stressors, particularly desiccation and osmotic stress, with applications in both arid soil ecosystems and gut microbiome homeostasis. She actively contributes to research aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including Life on Land and Good Health and Well-being.
- Research Interests: Microbial ecology in extreme environments, desiccation survival mechanisms, gut microbiome dynamics, and microbial responses to osmotic stress.
- Activities: Presented at the BAGECO Conference 2023, co-authored studies on carbon use efficiency in arid soils, and contributed to multidisciplinary collaborations, including projects with researchers like Dagmar Wöbken and Alberto Canarini.
Her recent publications explore microbial productivity in deserts and drug-induced dysbiosis in the gut, integrating metagenomic and physiological approaches. Her work bridges environmental microbiology with medical implications, emphasizing global challenges like land degradation and neurodegenerative diseases.
