I'm a microbiologist who has transitioned from wet to dry-lab science. I use the lens of bioinformatics to look at biological questions from the perspective and context of the data. I have worked at the interface of basic and translational research, and currently am using bioinformatics approaches to investigate the role of uncultured bacteria in the human gut, with the goal of understanding how the composition of the gut microbiome may influence the incidence of gut-related human diseases.
