Her expertise lies in unravelling the microbial ecology of bacterial/archaeal/microeukaryotes isolates, microbiomes, and metagenome-based genomes from different and complex ecosystems (e.g., biofilms, ocean, lagoons, corals, fish gut, bioreactors). Her topics of interest have evolved from an evolutionary aspect to more applicable research, with the hope that improved understanding of the yet uncharted genomic capabilities and its flow of metabolites, through combined metaOmics approaches, will unlock the microbial potential and its significance for future generations.
