“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.“

I serve as an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan and lead the Kozik Lab as Principal Investigator. My expertise lies at the dynamic intersection of the human microbiome, systems biology, and inflammatory disease. I am also keenly interested in applying ecosocial approaches to unravel the mechanisms behind variations in health outcomes. Currently, my lab’s research is focused on elucidating the role of the respiratory microbiome in chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma.
