Postdoctoral Research Assistant
Research Interests
My current research interests include the neurobiological basis of mood disorders, in particular depression and anxiety. I focus on the relationship between the gut microbiome and brain health, including the mediating role of the immune system. I have a special interest in metabolomics techniques, both as a mechanistic approach to understand gut-to-brain communication and as a tool for biomarker discovery for precision medicine.
