Studied Food Science and Nutrition in her BSc and moved on to Microbiology in MSc. Got interested in bioinformatics during her MSc thesis at the Wageningen University & Research, Netherlands, where she explored persistence of foodborne pathogens in environments; and in human gut microbiome as EFSA, EU-FORA fellow, where she focused on influences of BPA on the gut microbiome. Right now, she is interested in the evolutionary pressures upholding the human gut resistome.
