My Interests
"I am interested in how complex microbial communities interact with host systems. Specifically, I am interested in how the gut microbiome of infants with cystic fibrosis affects their long term health outcomes. I'm additionally interested in bridging the gap between the specific needs of biologists and the many wonderful computational tools being developed today. "

Why QBS?
"I chose QBS because it was the only program I saw at the time that didn't make me choose between Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, and Epidemiology. I wanted to be in a program that appreciated the interconnected nature of these fields and provided the appropriate training across disciplines."
