The Team

We are a group with diverse backgrounds, and find and tackle interesting questions in host-microbiota research (group picture from summer 2024). If you are interested in joining the group, please contact Markus.

Markus Arnoldini

Markus is a group leader and senior scientist at ETH Zürich. He did his PhD at ETH and Eawag working on microbial ecology and evolution. During his time as a postdoctoral fellow at UC San Diego, he started working on the interactions of the gut microbiota and the host. The fascination with this topic has stuck with him, and his current research focuses on understanding how microbial ecology emerges from host physiology in microbial communites associated with animals.

Stella Greuter

Stella is a PhD student currently focused on understanding the mutual interactions of the vaginal microbiota with the host.
