Profile
Areas of responsibility
I am currently working as a Project Coordinator for the ERGA stream work package "Field to lab" within the Biodiversity Genomics Europe project. My main role is to manage the sample collection, storage and transfer, along with metadata documentation.
This project aims to generate high-quality and publicly available reference genomes from a vast number of species, with the purpose of biodiversity characterisation, conservation and biomonitoring.
Research interests
- Population genetics and conservation
- Phylogeography
- Domestication
- Archaeogenomics
- Ancient DNA
