Santelli Geomicrobiology and Bioremediation Research Group
Mission
In the Santelli Geomicrobiology lab, our research examines the interactions between minerals, metals, and microorganisms, including fungi. We seek to understand how biomineralization, biocorrosion, and metabolic activity influence the fate and distribution of metals, nutrients, and pollutants in the environment. Our specific research objectives are driven by conducting fundamental scientific research on environmentally relevant biogeochemical processes and key elements in nature that are further influenced by anthropogenic activities, such as mining and agriculture.
