I am a senior bioinformatician specializing in wildlife conservation genomics, with expertise in host-microbiome studies and dietary characterization. My current work applies shotgun metagenomics to fecal samples to achieve fine-scale dietary reconstruction at plant species level. This research aims to identify how individual plant species influence the gut microbiome, providing critical insights into the ecosystem resilience and management of sensitive alpine wildlife.
