Sequence & assess
Clinical and environmental samples, sequencing workflows, controls, coverage assessment and quality review.
Interpreting the signal in its context.
I joined NIH during the COVID-19 response and helped establish and operate viral sequencing workflows. My subsequent work connects laboratory processing, Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing, analysis review and public-health reporting across a wider range of pathogens.
My contributions include comparative genomics, metagenomics, phylogenetics and documented analysis workflows. I am interested in what the evidence supports: how sequence quality, reference choice and sampling affect the conclusions we draw about pathogen diversity and circulation.
Compare & interpret
Genome reconstruction, comparative analysis and phylogenetic interpretation, with attention to sampling and uncertainty.
Make work reusable
Documented workflows, research repositories, public-health reporting and practical training for colleagues.
