RCC Research & Development

At the RCC, my focus is on exploring the diversity and functions of marine microbes, with a particular interest in microalgae. Through developing innovative research techniques, I aim to deepen our understanding of marine microbial ecosystems. This work is essential for collaborations and advancements in both academic and private sectors, seeking insights into marine biology.
