Our translational human microbiome research program focuses on gastrointestinal and airway microbiome interactions with host immunity that promote or prevent development/maintenance of chronic inflammatory disease. Taking a "populations to molecules" approach we leverage the microbiome to determine the origins of childhood allergy and asthma and the early life molecular and cellular drivers of immune dysfunction that lead to childhood disease development.

Kathryn Mccauley, MPH

Specialist

Katie received her Masters of Public Health degree in Epidemiology/Biostatistics from UC Berkeley, where she focused on international, multi-center studies of childhood leukemia etiology.  She became fascinated by the role of the microbiome in health through her MPH coursework, and joined the Lynch Lab in February 2016. Her work now focuses primarily on longitudinal analyses of airway microbiota from children of diverse backgrounds. Katie also provides occasional statistical guidance for other projects throughout the group
