Bethan began studying underground fungal networks during a PhD at the University of Cambridge examining Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and their genetic interactions with crop plants. She has a computational biology background through research into the genomics and transcriptomics of mycorrhizal fungi and a role as a Senior Computer Biologist in the Genome Reference Informatics Team at the Sanger Institute, UK. At SPUN, Bethan coordinates the sequencing of soil eDNA and the computational processes required to identify which mycorrhizal fungi are present.
