Microbial composition in the infant gut is strongly tied to long term health and development, yet studying these communities indirectly is challenging and leaves many questions unanswered. My current research is centered around isolating and culturing infant gut microbes for the development of infant gut consortia, which we can then use to shed light on key microbes responsible for infant gut health and resilience in support of Wellcome Leap FORM. 

In my free time I like to surf, read sci-fi books, and play guitar.
