Her team's research program seeks to illuminate the interplay between the microbial environment and host/clinical factors in human diseases by developing and applying novel molecular and computational tools to study strain-level dynamics of the microbiome, to understand how microbial genomes change over time, and to predict the functional output of microbiomes. She is applying these tools to support wastewater-based disease surveillance in the San Francisco Bay area both for COVID-19 as well as emerging disease.
