CURRENT GROUP MEMBERS

ROK KOSTANJŠEK – professor of Zoology, Group Leader

I’m interested in various aspects of olm biology and ecology, especially on its anatomical and physiological adaptations to the subterranean way of life, interactions with other organisms including parasites and microorganisms, genomics and conservation biology.

As head of the “Infrastructural center for Microscopy of Biological Samples” my research approaches are closely associated with various visualization techniques.
