Postdoctoral researcher @ETH Zurich studying microbial ecology in vineyards and fermented foods!
You know it’s @meehubs.bsky.social if one hub has beer while another has breakfast. The Zürich hub is concluding a fantastic first day of #MEEHubs26 - can’t wait to rewatch what we’ll be missing out on tonight and excited for two more days of science and fun across hubs 🙌🏼🚀
One week left to register for MEEHubs2026 taking place Aug 3-5!! Please join us in Montreal, Ann Arbor, Irvine, Morelia, Zurich, Manchester, Chernihiv, or online. Register here: meehubs.org

Microbial terroir in winegrowing: revisiting the role of microbial biogeography in terroir expression | Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Terroir describes the link between a product’s distinct characteristics and its geographic origin and has been a central principle in viticulture for centuries. Traditionally, terroir is understood to be influenced by both environmental and human factors, including soil characteristics, local climate, topography, viticultural practices, and regional choice of grapevine cultivar. This is reflected in regulations like protected denomination of origins (PDO), which are strictly defined over features such as distinct climatic conditions and geology, authorized cultivars, and often traditional management practices (1).
