Diana Bakholdina

I am a PhD student specializing in microbiology and genetics, currently conducting research on Aeromonas salmonicida, a fish pathogen affecting aquaculture species. My academic journey began with a diploma in Aquatic Bioresources and Aquaculture, followed by a Master's degree in Food and Life Science in Japan. Driven by a passion for marine biology and environmental protection, I aim to integrate laboratory, field, and marine biology in my future career. I am especially interested in interdisciplinary projects that promote ocean literacy, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable use of aquatic resources. Alongside my academic work, I actively seek opportunities to broaden my knowledge in ecological biology and field research through online courses, field schools, and volunteer projects. I am committed to contributing to global efforts in marine conservation and ocean education.
