One of the outstanding questions of the COVID-19 pandemic is why severe outcomes occur disproportionately in adults. We investigated this question by comparing the transcriptional response in the upper airway of children & adults with or without SARS-CoV-2 infection

Really proud to have worked with this amazing group of scientists to get an asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 testing program started at UC Berkeley last summer!

First postdoc preprint! We show that COVID-19 patients who develop ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) have impaired anti-bacterial immune signaling and changes in the lung microbiome weeks before the onset of VAP medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
