Anna Neubeck is a researcher (docent) specializing in biogeochemistry, with a focus on the deep biosphere, microbiology and isotope geochemistry at Uppsala University, Sweden.
She serves on the boards of the Swedish Space Research Organization (SRS), the Swedish Astrobiology Network (SWAN) and she is an Expert reviewer for NASA Life Detection Knowledge Base. Her research encompasses various aspects of geochemistry, including active participation in projects such as the Planetary Analogs & Exobiology Lava Tube Expedition (PELE), Chemobrionics (studying pseudofossils and biomorphs), GOE-DEEP (Gabon and Oxygenation of Earth – Drilling Early Earth Project, to entangle the mysteries of the oxygenation of early Earth 2.5 billion years ago) and the Horizon 2020-funded biomineralization and enhanced bio-accelerated weathering project BAM!, where she is a co-principal investigator. The current projects aim to investigate the destiny of Ni in the environment and through time, as Ni may have been fundamental to the beginning and evolution of life on earth.
