Michaela Mausz is an Assistant Professor at the University of Warwick specializing in marine microbiology, particularly focusing on lipid membranes and their role in photosynthetic organisms. Her current research investigates how lipid remodelling affects carbon fixation processes in marine phytoplankton and the implications for climate change. Michaela's work has demonstrated that external stressors, such as nutrient limitation, influence the composition of lipid membranes, which is crucial for understanding cellular responses and ecosystem modeling. Through her research, she has explored the biochemical adaptations of marine phytoplankton to phosphorus limitation, utilizing advanced techniques such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Michaela has also collaborated on various projects analyzing lipid profiles and their relevance in ecological contexts, providing insights into how viruses affect lipid metabolism in eukaryotic microalgae. Her teaching includes overseeing postgraduate students and leading modules related to human and animal microbiomes, while being actively involved in student outreach and engagement initiatives at the university.
