About Krista Ryon
As the co-founder and Director of Operations of the Two Frontiers Project (2FP), I lead initiatives that leverage cutting-edge scientific approaches to explore the most extreme environments on our planet. Our expeditions integrate advanced DNA sequencing methods with rigorous machine learning, genomic, and metabolic analyses to uncover the mysteries of microbial life in challenging habitats. I manage ongoing projects and expeditions, overseeing sample processing and data generation to ensure our research makes a meaningful impact in the field of metagenomics.My academic background includes a bachelor\'s degree in biology with a concentration in bioinformatics from Hunter College, where I honed my skills in data analysis, database science, and statistical methodologies. I am deeply passionate about advancing the field of genomics, contributing to our understanding of microbial diversity and function, and fostering community outreach initiatives. With a proven track record in project management and collaboration, I am committed to pushing the boundaries of metagenomics research.
