Matthias Hess

Biography

Dr. Matthias Hess is currently working as a Assistant Professor in the Department of Animal Science, The University of California Davis , USA. His research interests includes Application of cultivation-independent as well as cultivation-based techniques approaches to obtain a multi-scale (from molecule to cell to population to ecosystem) understanding of microbial systems. The Hess Laboratory is in particularly interested in a) how microbial systems respond to environmental changes and how they affect their habitats and b) the identification of microbes and microbial proteins of industrial relevance. Biological systems studied in the Hess Lab include amongst others: ruminants, photosynthetic consortia and microbial communities associated with natural hydrocarbons..
