Systems Biology of Gut-Microbe Interactions
Links/websites:
I have an academic background in Microbial Computational Systems Biology mostly focused on the reconstruction of bacterial regulatory networks and integration of heterogeneous datasets.
My current research interests revolve around using various bioinformatics methods and approaches to study the molecular cross-talk between bacteria and humans in the gut environment particularly in the context of autophagy, immunomodulation, and homeostasis as well as in disease states such as Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease. Towards this goal, I use a wide variety of methods and data sources to enable the integration and interpretation of different kinds of –omic datasets using biological networks derived from both predicted and experimental data.
