About Victor
Victor Secco is a social anthropologist working at the intersections of microbiology, environment, and religion. His PhD from the University of Manchester examined bacteriophage research and Hindu rituals in the Ganges River in North India, while his current postdoctoral research at Ca' Foscari University of Venice explores planetary microbiome studies through ethnography with environmental genomics laboratories across European coastal areas. His work examines the computational infrastructures of bioinformatics and sampling practices in the production of microbiological knowledge.
