Biography
I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the DeRisi lab at the University of California, San Francisco. I take an inter-disciplinary approach to the study of disease ecology of wildlife, with particular emphasis on the importance of host behavior and physiology and pathogen community diversity as drivers of host-pathogen interactions. My work in the DeRisi lab focuses on the use of metagenomics as a powerful tool for improving our understanding of the composition and ecology of entire pathogen communities of wildlife.
