Interests

My research journey is fueled by a passion for understanding microbial ecosystems, particularly the gut microbiome and its symbiotic relationship with the host Fascinated by genetic modifications since childhood, I aim to explore their potential to address genetic disorders, enhance immunity, and optimize host health The gut microbiome, often called the "second genome," profoundly impacts host physiology, immunity, and behavior My research focuses on unraveling molecular mechanisms governing gut microbiome-host interactions, identifying key genetic targets for intervention Through comparative analyses of microbial communities across hosts and environments, I aim to uncover conserved pathways of symbiosis and disease susceptibility Utilizing advanced genomic and bioinformatics techniques, my goal is to decode the genetic blueprint of the microbiome and develop tailored solutions to enhance host-microbe interactions, ultimately paving the way for transformative health innovations
