Research highlights

My doctoral dissertation was focused on leveraging external biological knowledge and multi-omics data sets to understand gut microbiomes surveyed in population health studies. I am currently working on exploratory analyses supporting early phase clinical trials. A complete list of my publications (incl. co-author publications) can be found on my Google Scholar page.
