Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnders Lanzen is a senior scientist and IKERBASQUE associate professor with over a decade of experience applying genomics, bioinformatics and machine learning to marine and estuarine ecological monitoring. He leads the MicroMon project at AZTI—overseeing a multidisciplinary team and international collaborators—to develop eDNA-based bioindicators and computational tools that reveal how multiple stressors reshape microbial community structure and function. With a PhD from the University of Bergen and a 20-year research trajectory spanning metabarcoding, metagenomics and metatranscriptomics, he combines deep computational sequence-analysis expertise with hands-on field-centric biomonitoring. Anders has authored 70 peer-reviewed papers (h-index 40), supervised multiple graduate theses, and plays a key role in the NORCE-coordinated MetaBridge genomics biomonitoring initiative, highlighting his ability to translate methods into operational environmental assessment.
