She completed a 3-year fellowship in ID in addition to a Master of Clinical Research at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Her research focus is on patient-oriented studies of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) pathogenesis, epidemiology, and genomics. She investigates the capabilities of genomics to delineate both intra- and inter-host adaptation.
