I collaborate with diverse teams at Vanderbilt, including the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and the Department of Medicine. I have been actively involved in collaborative research from various disciplines such as the human microbiome, mental health, psychiatry, and infectious disease, most of which received influential media coverage about our study findings.
