As an international immigrant woman in academia, I have been involved in and volunteered with different organizations and foundations to reduce the gaps and disparities in opportunities for various minority groups both in US and UK.
My long-term research goal is to develop frameworks to monitor and understand the changes in microbial interactions that shape microbiogeography and, consequently, the host immune responses during chronic infections. My goals as a mentor are to advocate and provide equal support and opportunities for my trainees. |
