个人简介
Ass Prof Burns’ research program is focused on unravelling the evolutionary and ecological significance of early Earth microbial ecosystems: microbial mats and stromatolites. The research group at UNSW that he leads is considered one of the best in the world in the study of these modern systems. These ‘living rocks’, are found in Shark Bay, Western Australia, and are excellent natural laboratories, that may have helped shape the biology of the early Earth. The key to understanding the past is to study the present, and their research team use these ecosystems as excellent model systems to address important evolutionary questions around the origin and evolution of life on our planet.
Ass Prof Burns’ research program transcends all forms of life, from eukaryotes, bacteria, archaea, to viruses.In particular, their research pursues the role of ‘microbial dark matter’ in these systems including the enigmatic group of Asgard archaea. The is aim to break down the traditional distinctions between prokaryotic and eukaryotic life using the archaea as a ‘missing link’. Their research has enhanced our understanding of ‘extreme’ life, and uncovered in these systems for the first time novel microbial lineages in the rare biosphere considered one of the new frontiers of microbial ecology.
