Dr Saara Suominen (Finland) is joining our OBIS team at the IOC Project Office for IODE as the OBIS Science Officer and will support us with developing the tools to process DNA sequence-based occurrences, as part of the PacMAN project (Pacific Islands Marine Bioinvasions Network), funded by the Government of Flanders. Her background is in marine microbial ecology, and she has experience with the utilization of molecular methods for the analysis of marine microbial populations. She has previously worked in aquatic research projects in Finland, Iceland and France, and has recently obtained her PhD from the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research. She is passionate about genetic data and how it can inform future developments in the marine science and policy fields. Saara has been recruited through VLIZ – Flanders Marine Institute, funded by a grant from the Richard Lounsbery Foundation for an initial period of 12 months.
