About the Laboratory
The laboratory was created on May 25th, 2012 on the basis of the Bioinformatics and Biosystematics Research Institute, as part of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)–supported Russian-German research project titled “Sustainable land management and climate change adaptations in the agricultural areas of the Tyumen region” ("SASCHA").
Research Focus
The laboratory studies biodiversity and various aspects of ecological communities.
The primary research focus is on soil zoology. Namely, we examine how biomes interact with the surrounding soil and plant environments.
The laboratory is among the world’s leaders in soil mite studies.
The laboratory is distinguished by its openness to international collaboration. Over the years, we have established numerous partnerships and worked together on research projects with world-leading biodiversity research organizations from Germany, USA, New Zealand, Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
