Bio

I am interested in exploring past environmental and pathogenic interactions that can inform modern human health and behavior. I am also interested in prioritizing integration of novel methodologies and technology that could improve sample retrieval or bioinformatic analysis and identifying the ethical concerns intrinsic to working with genetic material and working on ways to address these concerns.
