We are pleased to introduce Professor Julieta Orlando, who will be one of the national speakers at the "Microbial Frontiers" symposium!
Professor Julieta is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ecological Sciences at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Chile. She is currently the Deputy Director of the Millennium Institute for Biodiversity of Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic Ecosystems (BASE) and the Vice President of the Chilean Society of Microbiology (SOMICH).
Her research focuses on studying the biotic and abiotic factors that determine microbial diversity and the interactions microorganisms establish with each other and with macroorganisms. Currently, her research projects are centered on the study of symbiotic interactions, such as Peltigera lichens from southern Chile, the microbiome of Antarctic marine animals, and the mycorrhizae of native trees from Central Chile.
