Research Interest
Next-generation (next-gen) sequencing is producing large amounts of data with vast potential to inform treatment and prevention of diabetes and obesity. My research interest are focused on leveraging next-gen data to understand how genetic and environmental factors mediate the risk of obesity. Given the billions of microbes that inhabit our bodies are likely to be the most intimate connection humans have to their environment, my current research is devoted to understanding how maternal-infant microbial exposures impact obesity during early life events.
