Organisation
Bioengineering Technology, Group T Leuven Campus
Technology Cluster
The unit studies the role and ecology of microbial communities and members thereof in diverse natural and man-made environments or processes to better understand and manage these processes. A major focus is on plant-microbe-insect interactions and plant-microbe interactions.
