His research focuses on how climate change affects phytoplankton and aquatic ecosystems, with particular emphasis on the adaptive potential of cyanobacteria and microalgae. He combines laboratory evolution experiments, mesocosm studies, and molecular approaches to understand ecosystem-level consequences of environmental change. He has led several national and international research projects, including ADVANCE, Aquacosm PLUS and ZeoCyan, and collaborates widely with partners across Europe.\u00a0His work aims to bridge fundamental ecological understanding with applied solutions for managing aquatic systems under global change.\u00a0In addition to his research activity, he is actively involved in science policy, serving as Honorary Advisor to the President of the National Research Authority.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bogdan Drug\u0103, Prinicpal Investigator and Director at the Institute for Biological Research in Cluj-Napoca joins our doctoral school as a PhD supervisor after a decision taken in unanimity by the board.
