Rate My Professor Cecile Gubry-Rangin

Her research centers on the ecological, physiological, and evolutionary adaptation of microbial populations, with a particular emphasis on ammonia-oxidizing archaea and bacteria central to the global biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen. Key areas include microbial community dynamics under environmental perturbations such as pH fluctuations, temperature changes, and land-use alterations, as well as the effects of agricultural practices like fertilizer application and nitrification inhibitors on ecosystem processes. She has attracted over £8 million in research funding through prestigious awards, including multiple Royal Society fellowships, enhancement grants, research grants, and talent grants, alongside her NERC fellowship and earlier scholarships from the French Research Ministry and European entities. Gubry-Rangin holds memberships in the Society for General Microbiology, Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution, International Society for Microbial Ecology, and the Nitrification Network. She serves on the editorial boards of Microbiome and Environmental Microbiome. Notable publications encompass 'Structurally diverse biological nitrification inhibitors display distinct modes of inhibition in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria' (2026, FEMS Microbiology Ecology), 'Genomic recovery from rare terrestrial microbes enabled by DNA-based GC-fractionation' (2025, ISME Communications), 'Land use effects on soil microbiome composition and traits with consequences for soil carbon cycling' (2024, ISME Communications), and 'Biological Nitrification Inhibitors with Antagonistic and Synergistic Effects on Growth of Ammonia Oxidiser and Soil Nitrification' (2024, Microbial Ecology). Her scholarship has amassed over 4,500 citations on Google Scholar.
