Bio

Priti Devi has expertise in microbiology and genomic with research interest lies at the intersection of infectious diseases, host-microbiome interactions, and functional genomic. Her work focuses on understanding how microbial signatures and host-factors, particularly antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), modulate the microbial composition during aging.
