dott.ssa Miriam Schalamun

Miriam è una biotecnologa specializzata nelle tecnologie di sequenziamento e nell’analisi bioinformatica dei dati. Ha acquisito una solida esperienza nel sequenziamento Nanopore già nel corso della sua tesi di laurea magistrale sui sistemi vegetali presso l’Australian National University di Canberra.

Ha conseguito il dottorato di ricerca presso la University of Technology di Vienna, dedicandosi allo studio della trasduzione del segnale cellulare nei funghi. In questo contesto ha approfondito la sua conoscenza dei funghi e delle loro interazioni con l'ambiente. Ha svolto le attività sperimentali presso l’AIT (Austrian Institute of Technology).

Oggi, Miriam mette a disposizione di MyPilz le sue competenze e la sua passione per la ricerca nel ruolo di Head of Research and Development.
