Research Interests
Our body is in constant interaction with the microbial communities inhabiting
not only our gastrointestinal tract but also our respiratory system, skin
and the reproductive tissues. These diverse microbial communities outnumber
our own cells by a 10 to 1 ratio and have been increasingly reported to
play important roles in human health and diseases. I am interested in studying
how our body and our immune system in particular respond to the environmental
factors in orchestration with the microbiome. I am developing an analytics
platform that will allow us to study the communication between the human
body and its microbiomes across many different physiological samples.
