Angeliki Marietou, Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering

Angeliki Marietou, Academic Employee at the Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering, Aarhus University. PhD in Molecular Microbiology from the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom. MPhil in Molecular and Cellular Biology, MSc in Medical Microbiology, and BSc in Biological Sciences also in the United Kingdom.

Growing up in a small village in Greece, surrounded by nature I was fascinated by the natural world around me. My curiosity led me to a degree in Biological Sciences. Since then, I have carried research in different countries (UK, USA, DK) and have worked at one of the top oceanographic institutions in the world. My research focus is on the “unseen” world driving life on our planet, the microbes. Over the years I have tried to understand how they cause disease, how they drive/contribute to key element cycles on our planet (i.e. the carbon and nitrogen cycle), how can we detect their presence on other planets (in collaboration with NASA), how do they survive in the deepest parts of our oceans, and how we can use them to improve our health and reduce food spoilage. Some work days were spent on a ship collecting samples (enjoying the sun and the view at the same time), while other work days were spent in a lab building bioreactors or extracting DNA and performing chemical analysis.

I love travelling with my two daughters and experiencing the world with them, when I am not spending time with my daughters you will find me in the garden when the days are good. Bouldering with my boyfriend and arts and crafts are my favorite activities for the cold and rainy days.
