Balance of the Microverse (Cluster of Excellence)
The Cluster of Excellence “Balance of the Microverse” focuses on the critical balance of microbial consortia within ecosystems, which is essential for climate stability, sustainable agriculture, and overall well-being. It aims to understand the dynamics of microbial balance, identify factors that disrupt it, and explore methods for re-establishing equilibrium. The cluster investigates chemical signals, host interactions, and genetic exchanges across diverse environments by integrating expertise from various scientific fields.
Ultimately, the Cluster of Excellence “Balance of the Microverse” seeks to develop innovative solutions to combat disease and environmental imbalances by learning from natural systems.
