I received B.A. in Molecular & Cell Biology from UC Berkeley, and a Ph.D. in Human Genetics from UChicago. After postdoctoral training in Carlos Bustamante’s lab at Stanford University, I served as Head of Bioinformatics at NomNomNow before joining NYU Abu Dhabi as Assistant Professor in Fall 2020. I lead an interdisciplinary research program in human population genetics and microbiome science focused on underrepresented populations. My work helps translate large-scale, diverse multi-omic data into actionable insights, addressing industry challenges in precision health, microbiome-based products, algorithmic bias, and global product generalizability. I have published 10 papers, including in Science and Cell, and my research is supported by NYUAD and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
