معرفی
Dr. Anton Lavrinienko is a Lecturer at the Department of Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zürich, affiliated with the Biotechnology of Food Systems group. His research focuses on microbiome studies, environmental health, and the impact of pollution and radiation on ecosystems and microbiota. He is based in Zurich, Switzerland, and teaches the course Applied Bioinformatics: Microbiomes (Autumn Semester 2025). His work integrates molecular biology, ecology, and public health to address challenges in food systems and environmental sustainability.
Research interests include microbial diversity in polluted environments, radiation effects on wildlife, and the application of genomics to biodiversity conservation. He collaborates on projects such as the European Reference Genome Atlas and studies microbial responses to anthropogenic contamination in urban and natural ecosystems.
Dr. Lavrinienko’s studies often involve fieldwork in regions like Chernobyl, investigating how chronic radiation and metal pollution alter microbiota and organismal health. His findings contribute to understanding ecological resilience and human health implications of environmental stressors. He emphasizes open data standards and FAIR principles in microbiome research.
