CV Claudia Coleine PERSONAL DATA Dr. Claudia Coleine, PhD ORCID, 0000-0002-8967-3329; Anno di nascita: 1987; Nazionalità: Italiana URL: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Claudia-Coleine Email: coleine@unitus.it EDUCATION 2018 PhD in Ecology and Sustainable Management for the Environmental Resources, University of Tuscia (UNITUS), Italy. 2014 MSc in Cellular and Molecular Biology, MSc, UNITUS 2012 MSc in Biological Sciences, UNITUS. CURRENT POSITION(S) 2022 - present RTDB, UNITUS Member of the Life Science Group of the Scientific Committee for the Research in Antarctica (SCAR). 2018 – 2022 Postdoctoral Fellow, UNITUS STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS My work was pioneering in evaluating the relative importance of the attributes of biotic communities on ecosystem functioning and to assess how this relationship changes along environmental gradients. I was the first in using untargeted metabolomics and metagenomics on Antarctic endolithic ecosystems. An indication of the novelty and relevance of this pioneering research is its publication in Microbiome, one of the most important scientific journals in the field. My papers have been cited by authors from 100 countries, and over 70% of my publications are co-authored by international colleagues collectively spanning more than 20 countries. I am the recipient of a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship (2022-2025) to study endolithic communities across the US drylands, proving my leadership capabilities and the ground-breaking nature of my research in this field. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS: Within 6 years of research opportunities post PhD, I have made significant contributions to the fields of Drylands and Climate Change research, especially in diversity and adaptation of desert microorganisms from both hot and cold desert, playing an important role in developing and leading several original research programs on endolithic communities. During my career, I had the opportunity to collaborate with outstanding scientists in the fields of genomics, comparative genomics and mycology (e.g., Prof J. Stajich, UC Riverside; Prof. Nicola Segata, Trento University). These international experiences led to the public release of the first fungal genomes from Antarctic endolithic communities, unravelling the stress-response and adaptation strategies of some of these fungi, among the most extreme-tolerant organisms on Earth. Further, I contributed to the development of a free and accessible resource for assembling and annotating eukaryotic genomes from shotgun metagenomes (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.02.08.527609v1), and the development of the first catalogue of reference genomes and genes of bacteria from Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems. RESEARCH PROJECTS Total funding: €640.000 in competitive research grants. I am Lead CI of one Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship (€265.000, 2022-2025), and two Italian National Program for Antarctic Research (€69.400, 2019-2021; €269.000, 2024-2026). Since 2004, I was being involved in astrobiological research project, funded by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), including experiments on the ISS to expose terrestrial analogue samples (i.e. Antarctic cryptoendolithic communities) such as: Title “Multi-omic characterization of Antarctic CRYPTOendolithic communities as proxy for searching life on MARS” CRYPTOMARS. 485.200€ (2022-2025).
