Antton Alberdi Estibaritz

Antton Alberdi Estibaritz is an Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen's Globe Institute, where he leads research in the Section for Hologenomics. His work focuses on the ecological interactions of wild vertebrates and their gut microbiomes, employing methodologies including metagenomics, spatial analyses, fieldwork techniques, and bioinformatics tools like R and Python.

Research Focus: Dr. Alberdi investigates eco-evolutionary relationships between hosts and microbes, with emphasis on:

• Wild vertebrate ecology and microbiome dynamics
• Hologenomic data integration and analysis
• Development of molecular and computational methods
• Applications in conservation and pest management

Publication Trends (2025): Recent articles demonstrate a strong focus on hologenomic methodologies, microbiome functionality in wildlife, and ecological applications. Key themes include metagenomic framework development, DNA extraction protocols, and cross-species microbiome interactions, with consistent emphasis on open-source solutions and collaborative science.
