Researcher with more than 15 years of experience in immunology and inflammatory diseases, with a PhD in Biological Sciences. She is currently a visiting researcher at the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI) at UC Berkeley as a Pioneer Science fellow, investigating the interaction between the microbiome and immunogenomics in inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. She uses 2D and 3D stem-cell-derived cell models, animal models, and genomic approaches to understand the immunological mechanisms driving chronic inflammation and immune-system dysfunction.
