Bart Thomma
At the University of Cologne, Bart Thomma is to continue his research on soil organisms and their interactions with plants. He is expected to head a new Centre for Microbial Interactomics that is due to be established and within which he will focus on evolutionary microbiology. He will also cooperate with human biologists.
