Evolutionary Geobiology Consortium

Scope and activities

We are enquiring the processes and pathways that drive evolution. We are focused on transitions, gene function, organization, cellular communication and the interplay with the physical and chemical environment. With robust control of the physical and chemical environment, we explore how e.g. oxygen, nutrition and stress levels influence cell and community growth, how mineralogy enables evolutionary processes and how element cycling are affected by its close environment. We aim to advance insights – both literally and conceptually – of the processes at the interface between life and the physical environment.


Our approaches cross temporal and spatial scales and we span from the molecular level to large system scales. We apply a range of methods and techniques ranging from fieldwork, carefully controlled lab-scale model systems, molecular interrogations of solid-fluid-molecule/tumor interactions and microbe-microbe relations.

We co-supervise students and encourage our students, associates and employees integrate across our research groups and research infrastructure. The founders have steering group meetings 4 times yearly and we host the annual consortium meeting. You are welcome to reach out if you are interested in joining a meeting or in hearing more about our activities etc.
