RESEARCH FIELD
Aerobiology investigates the biological particles transported through the atmosphere, including pollen grains, fungal spores, bacteria, viruses, and plant fragments. Researchers study how these particles disperse geographically, their seasonal dynamics, and their effects on human health, agricultural systems, and ecosystems. Advanced volumetric spore traps combined with genomic sequencing now allow real-time monitoring of airborne biodiversity. Climate change is reshaping aerobiological patterns globally, creating urgent demand for predictive models linking atmospheric transport with allergy seasons, crop pathogen spread, and pandemic preparedness.
