Dr. Fortin is interested in geomicrobiology, more specifically with the interactions between minerals/metals and bacteria in natural environments. Her research ranges from understanding the formation of biogenic minerals on bacteria and viruses, to the role of microorganisms in Biogeochemical metal cycling in extreme environments, including deep-sea vents and mine tailings.
