Prior to this, she was executive director of UC San Diego’s Center for Microbiome Innovation (CMI) that she co-led with renowned microbiome researcher, Dr. Rob Knight. There, she established a world-class team focused on expanding industry and academic collaborations in the field of microbiome research that resulted in raising more than $20M of financial support through key partnerships toward application of this science to AI, diet and nutrition, aging, environment, human disease understanding and more. Before this three-year detour in academia, she worked in large biotech and multinational companies in the life science industry, as well as start-ups.
