ESGP Seminar series & CoMS present Sam Banerjee | Microbiomes and Environmental Sustainability

Talk | Microbiomes and Environmental Sustainability

Samiran Banerjee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiological Sciences at North Dakota State University. Previously, he held research positions at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in Australia and Agroscope in Switzerland. He is a soil microbiologist with expertise in omics and machine learning approaches, and experience in ecology and soil-plant-microbe interactions. His research utilizes a combination of high-throughput sequencing, synthetic biology, and advanced statistical approaches to understand the rules that govern the microbiome assembly and microbe-microbe interactions. He also examines microbiome recruitment into the rhizosphere and roots, and how various abiotic and biotic factors alter the structure and functions of plant and soil microbiomes. He serves as a reviewer for several federal and international funding agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Science Foundation, and Genome Canada. Banerjee received a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in botany from University of Calcutta, India, an M.Sc. degree in plant and soil sciences from the University of Aberdeen, United Kingdom, and a Ph.D. in soil science from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada.
