Welcome to the Microbial Pangenomes Lab


Our research is focused on microbial pangenomes. We are interested in understanding how genetic variants between bacterial strains relate to phenotypic variability, both generally and in the context of infection. Evolution of antimicrobial resistance and its dependency on microbial pangenomes is also a research area in the lab.

The lab is lead by Marco Galardini; we are part of the Molecular Bacteriology institute at Twincore, as part of the RESIST cluster of excellence, in Hannover, Lower Saxony, Germany.

We are located at Twincore, next to the MHH campus. We also have a page on Twincore’s website.
