I am a young doctor in biology specialized in the study of the diversity, the ecology and the biogeography of microeukaryotes. I did my PhD in th laboratory of Soil Biodiversity in the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland) from 2012 to 2017. I have now a Postdoc position in São Paulo in Brazil and one of my interest will be to learn more about the transcriptomics and metatranscriptomics approaches.
