About
Jana Haase is a microbiologist whose work bridges the gap between historical bacterial collections and modern high-throughput genomics. Her primary research focuses on microbial genotyping, bacterial strain characterization, and the digitization of legacy culture collections. Haase’s major contribution is the development of a robotic pipeline for genotyping bacterial strains, which automates manual manipulations and replaces unstructured spreadsheet-based data evaluation. This innovation dramatically improves the efficiency, reliability, and throughput of microbial genotyping—a critical advancement for laboratories processing large sample volumes. Her most cited paper on this topic (20 citations) has influenced automated genotyping workflows. Additionally, Haase performed pivotal work on the revival of Seeliger’s historical “Special *Listeria* Culture Collection” (14 citations), demonstrating how digitizing and preserving century-old strain archives can illuminate bacterial evolution. By making these collections publicly accessible in machine-readable formats, she has enabled researchers to trace the recent evolutionary history of *Listeria* species. Haase’s contributions are particularly notable for combining robotics, bioinformatics, and archival science, offering a template for transforming traditional microbiology into a data-driven discipline.
