Looking deep into rocks and distant planets: geobiological research in the BedrettoLab
Cara Magnabosco and her team study subsurface environments at BedrettoLab, focusing on simple life-forms like bacteria surviving by "breathing rocks". They explore conditions for life emergence and survival, discovering rare microorganisms and conducting experiments to understand their lifestyle.
Playgrounds in the universe
Nobel laureate and astrophysicist Didier Queloz and earth scientist Cara Magnabosco on the origin of life on Earth, complex life beyond our planet, and the inevitable end of every life.

Congratulations Moira!
MSc student Moira Arnet has completed her Master's Thesis, "Deep Alpine Fluids: Origin, pathways and dynamic remobilisation in response to hydraulic stimulations at the Bedretto Underground Laboratory for Geoenergies (BULGG)".
Inaugural lecture
Prof. Cara Magnabosco gave her inaugural lecture “The co-evolution of life and our planet” at ETH Zurich.
We begin time series at the Bedretto Lab
Andrew, Moira, Bernard, and Cara went to the Bedretto Lab to begin monitoring the biogeochemical properties of waters throughout the Bedretto Tunnel.
New professorships: networked teaching and research
On the recommendation of ETH President Joël Mesot, the ETH Board appointed several new ETH professors and conferred the title of ETH professor on two researchers during its meeting on 22 and 23 May 2019. All the new appointments consciously connect their subject expertise with other disciplines.
