Elisa Teresa Granato (born 23 April 1988) is a molecular microbiologist in the department of zoology of the University of Oxford, where she researches the evolution of bacterial interactions and the significance of traits of bacteria that contribute to disease, virulence factors.
Early life and education
Elisa Granato was born on 23 April 1988.[1] She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Ludwig-Maximilians University, Munich, in 2011. In 2013 she received her Master of Science degree in microbiology and immunology from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), and in 2017 she received her PhD from the Life Science Zurich Graduate School of the University of Zurich for a thesis supervised by Rolf Kümmerli.[2]
Career
Granato works as a molecular microbiologist in the department of zoology of the University of Oxford.[3] She researches bacterial interactions and the significance of traits of bacteria that contribute to disease, virulence factors including pyoverdine produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.[4][5] On 23 April 2020, her 32nd birthday, she was the first volunteer in the Oxford vaccine trial for COVID-19.[1][6]
On 26 April 2020, Granato responded to circulating fake news of her death in a Twitter feed by commenting, “Nothing like waking up to a fake article on your death ... I’m doing fine everyone.”[7]
