Biofilm Research Laboratory

The Biofilm Research Laboratory studies communities of microorganisms, called biofilms, that attach to surfaces and form complex, sticky layers. These biofilms are found in natural environments, medical settings, and industries, influencing health, infrastructure, and ecosystems. The lab aims to understand how biofilms develop, how they affect their surroundings, and ways to control or prevent harmful biofilms. Through scientific experiments, the researchers explore how microorganisms communicate, resist treatments, and interact with surfaces, ultimately working toward solutions for issues like infections, biofouling, and environmental impact.
