Biography
Sebastian Metz graduated as a Licenciado in Bioinformatics at the Universidad Nacional de Entre Ríos (Argentina). He then completed his PhD in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology from the Universidad Nacional de San Martín (Argentina), where he studied the genetic diversity, distribution and ecology of picoeukaryotes organisms using a combination of molecular biology, next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics approaches. After his PhD, spends a year studying the diversity and distribution of the Perkinsea taxonomic group at the European Institute for Marine Studies (France). In 2022, he got a BIENVENÜE fellowship (MSCA-COFUND fellowship program). He moved to the Station Biologique de Roscoff (France), where he spent one year working on the pathobiome and functional genomics of Perkinsus olseni, a parasite of bivalves.
In 2023, he joined the Department of Archaeology at the University of York to participate in the COMMIOS project, where he will work with ancient DNA to investigate the human genetic diversity and structure of the Iron Age population.
