NEWS!!
October 2026: New paper published!!
Our article "Unlocking the air: DNA metabarcoding sheds light on seasonal fungal dynamics in a temperate floodplain forest", based on a study conducted at the Leipzig Canopy Crane facility, is now available to read in the journal Biogeosciences 🥳. It represents excellent work by Ettore Fedele and colleagues from the Leipzig University, iDiv, the University of Kassel, and Justus-Liebig- University Giessen.
September 2026: CBC conference: Connecting Biodiversity, Climate and Human Behaviour (Leipzig, Germany)
We are participating in the CBC: Connecting Biodiversity, Climate and Human Behaviour 2026 conference in Leipzig, where Bhavana is giving a talk about the new results of Bioaerosols.
We are also presenting the new Graduate School (GS) FoEHN, for which I recently took on the role of spokerperson, via a poster. Together with the GS's new coordinator, Linda Gorniak, we are inviting PhD students from various institutions to stay informed about our upcoming activities and join the program.

September-October 2025: 9th iDiv Annual Conference in Halle (Germany)
Our PhD Bhavana presented her recent work on bioaerosols and obtained the 2nd prize in the category "Best talk by an early-career researcher". Congratulatons!! 🙂
In addition, we also presented an overview of the topic conducted in our group by the presentation of a poster. We received very interesting comments. Thank you everyone who showed interest and came by!

Some of my research contributions to health and the environment and also to making science understandable to the general public can be seen in the following videos:
Explanation of the Patent that describes a new protocol to detect Legionella pneumophila in the air (in Spanish).
Talk where Beatriz Sánchez Parra explains to the general public in the Barcelona Science Week (2020) how the scientists study the biological particles from the air. Event organised by: LaBiotheque (in Spanish).
