Work experience
- 2022-present: Bioinformatics Fellow
- Gladstone Institutes, San Francisco, US
- I work on development of bioinformatic pipelines for metagenome-wide association studies (MWAS). I also study eco-evolutionary forces that shape human gut microbiome via strain level analysis of taxonomic and functional structure of the community.
- Supervisor: Prof. Katie Pollard
- 2022-present: Research Affiliate
- Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment, Urbana-Champaign, US
- As a continuation of my work for CABBI, I perform bioinformatic analysis of multi-omics data for novel yeast species with an aim of discovering genes involved in low pH tolerance and antimicrobial drug resistance.
- Supervisor: Prof. Sergei Maslov
