I’m interested in studying microbes thriving in the built environment and how they affect the human microbiome, or the microbes living on and in people. By leveraging high-throughput sequencing and other “omics” technologies, I aim to characterize these interactions by using infants housed in a neonatal intensive care unit as a model system. Results from my thesis will have broad applications, from developing a better understanding of how microbes thrive and are transmitted in indoor environments, to answering fundamental questions con...
