معرفی
Daria Tashyreva is a Researcher at the University of Warsaw, focusing on the taxonomy, ecology, and ultrastructure of euglenozoan protists, as well as their symbiotic relationships with bacteria and archaea. Her work bridges microbial ecology, evolutionary biology, and cellular biology, with a particular emphasis on understudied protist groups like diplonemids and hemistasiids.
Current projects include the SYMBIOZOANS initiative, investigating prokaryotic endosymbionts in cultured and natural euglenozoan populations. Collaborations with institutions like the Czech Academy of Sciences enhance her research on protist symbiosis and ultrastructure. She also explores metal accumulation in protists and the role of gene transfer agents in symbiotic bacteria.
- Key Research Areas: Protist diversity, host-symbiont interactions, microbial symbiosis evolution, and protist physiology.
- Techniques: 3D microscopy, genomic analysis, phylogenetic reconstruction, and field sampling.
- Collaborations: Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre, Czech Academy of Sciences.
Her publications span mBio, Current Biology, and Protist, highlighting contributions to understanding protist ultrastructure, symbiotic mechanisms, and evolutionary adaptations.
