Abstract:
Large-scale \
nsequencing data has advanced our understanding of microbial diversity \na
nd function in the marine environment. Here I will present concepts and\n
approaches how this data can be used to model interactions between \nmicro
biome members and generate information about metabolic processes \nand out
puts. I will also discuss the importance of long-term\, \nenviron
mental observations of microbiomes\, how monitoring programs can \nbe esta
blished and how such data can be integrated into ecosystems \nmodels

Prof.\n Torsten Thomas obtained his PhD from
the University of New South Wales\,\n Sydney\, Australia\, where he also
established his academic career and \nled research centres. His research h
as focused on understanding the \ncentral role that microbiomes have in in
fluencing the performance and \nhealth of higher host organisms\, in parti
cular in the marine \nenvironment. For this he has generated and analysed
large data sets and \nhas developed several innovative approaches\, includ
ing -omic \ntechnologies\, bioinformatics pipelines and ecological theorie
