My name is Nadia Andreani, I am a BAL graduate of year 2012. After the master course, I got a PhD in Veterinary Sciences at the University of Padova investigating the bacterial cause of blue mozzarella. After my PhD I moved to the UK at the University of Lincoln, studying microbiome of soil and animal gut.
I am currently a Postdoctoral researcher at Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology where I study the role of microbiome in diseases and bacterial evolution.
I love the teaching part of my job and I love mentoring younger students. I am also a big fan of public engagement. I am author of two illustrated books for children about microbiology.
I am not sure where I will be in the future, but I hope I will keep doing what I love: science!
