Funding for EPFL projects in 2019
In 2019 through a Call for LéXPLORE Projects, the Limnology Center has selected the following four projects:
-
Kirstin Schirmer: RAINBOWFLOW CHIPONLINE: Fish cell biosensor for automated water quality testing
-
Stéphane Joost, Tamar Kohn and Alcherio Martinoli: Local Adaptation of freshwater bacteria Communites to environmental conditions (LAC)
-
