 Welcome to the Rinke Lab 

• the Australian Centre for Ecogenomics (ACE), School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences (SCMB), The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, to
• the Microbial MultiOmics and Biorecycling (MMOB) Group, Department of Microbiology, University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria 

The Rinke Lab/ Microbial MultiOmics and Biorecycling (MMOB) Group, uses a range of "omics" techniques to:

• study phylogenetic and metabolic diversity of Microbial Dark Matter
• investigate bacterial plastic degradation (see cartoon above; thanks to www.ceew.in/what-on-earth)
• describe microbial and viral communities in marine and limnic systems
• explore microbial compositions in shallow coastal and deep-sea subsurface sediments
• characterise insect microbiomes
• identify main microbial players in terrestrial hot springs

If you are a motivated student, PhD candidate, or postdoc, interested in working with our team, please check out our Open Positions. Candidates with a focus on microbial genomics, microbial ecology, molecular biology, microfluidics, or protein characterisation, are encouraged to apply.

If you are a student at the University of Innsbruck, interested in a Master Project, please use our contact form: contact us
