Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFlorentin Constancias is an experienced microbial ecologist and bioinformatician with over a decade of applied research in environmental and host-associated microbiomes, currently a postdoctoral scientist studying eco-evolutionary dynamics of opportunistic pathogens. He combines wet-lab molecular biology, lab automation and HPC pipeline development with advanced statistical and metagenomic analyses to deliver reproducible, multidisciplinary studies. His work spans soil, food, skin, oral and gut microbiomes and targets public-interest challenges like antimicrobial resistance and evidence-based microbiome therapeutics. Having led projects and trained students across top institutions (ETH Zürich, Nanyang Technological University, Université de Lausanne), he is equally comfortable mentoring teams and producing hands-on computational tools. Notably, he integrates longitudinal cohort sampling with public genomic data to reveal how microbial communities and pathogen lineages evolve over time. Based in Zurich, he brings a pragmatic blend of ecology-driven theory and production-grade bioinformatics to translational microbiome research.
