  mentoring_philosophy: "I believe in fostering growth through a collaborative and supportive environment. By understanding mentees' unique goals, strengths, and motivations, I aim to create tailored learning experiences. Mutual respect and accountability are foundational to building strong relationships. I encourage experimentation, valuing both successes and failures as stepping stones to progress. Through shared experiences and inquiry-driven learning, I empower mentees to take ownership of their development and reach their full potential."

  overall_research_project_description: 'We are interested in understanding the mechanisms and dynamics of host-diet-microbe interactions and how these interactions influence our health. We utilize and integrate nutrition, microbiology, molecular biology, in-vitro systems, in-vivo models, metagenomics, bioinformatics, and machine-learning approaches to address, investigate and understand these interfaces. The Gut Biome  lab is currently focused on running 3 clinical trials: 1. The effect of watermelon on gut and cardio metabolic health in college aged students with obesity (12-week trial to begin this fall), 2. The effect of peanut butter on gut health and metabolic health in school-aged children (8-week trial to begin this fall), 3. The effect of dietary pulses on gut and metabolic health in college aged students. We are collecting blood biomarkers, oral and fecal microbiome, cognitive data, urine samples, and utilizing new technology such as gas-sensing capsules to answer our research objectives and generate new questions.
