Biography
Sarah Zecchin is a microbial ecologist, specialized in the analysis of environmental microbial communities using Next-Generation Sequencing techniques. She graduated in Biology as a bachelor and master student in 2010 (University of Padova) and in 2013 (University of Milano-Bicocca) respectively. She started working on rice rhizospheric sulfate-reducing bacteria during her master traineeship at the Division of Microbial Ecology at the University of Vienna (Austria). During her PhD (obtained in 2017) in Food Systems at the University of Milano, she studied the rice rhizospheric microbial communities involved in arsenic contamination. She is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Biology at the University of Konstanz (Germany), dealing with novel species of sulfate-reducing bacteria living in rice rhizosphere.
