Nicola Gambardella was born in 1999 in Mirano, Italy, and graduated from the University of Padua in 2021 with a dissertation on metagenomics of extreme environments.
He is now doing his master’s degree in Molecular Biology with a specialization on Bioinformatics at the University of Padua, as well as his master’s internship with the CIIMAR Microbiome Ecology and Biogeochemistry Team.
During his project, he was able to work with metagenomics and metabarcoding data to reveal the limitations of current bioinformatic methodologies in microbial ecology.
He intends to pursue his studies in this topic with a PhD fellowship.
