My study explore how the oral microbiome and salivary proteome may help predict hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, a serious condition that affects maternal health. By analyzing salivary and dental plaque, I’m hoping to uncover early biomarkers that could make dental visits part of early screening

I’m so excited to share that I’ve been awarded funding for my new project — MOMI: the Maternal Oral Microbiome Investigation 🧬🦠🦷

Wet Lab Protocols Matter: Choice of DNA Extraction and Library Preparation Protocols Bias Ancient Oral Microbiome Recovery Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis of archaeological dental calculus has provided a wealth of insights into ancient health, demography and lifestyles. However, the workflow for ancient metagenomics is still...

Outperforms all others—raising important questions about optimization versus standardization.

Measurement underpins all science. Yet, in microbiome studies, subtle differences in lab protocols can profoundly alter results. In our new study, we compare DNA extraction and library prep methods to assess their impact on ancient oral microbiome recovery. Our results show that no single approach

📌 In short, we will employ metagneomic, proteomic, and metabolomic strategies to saliva & dental calculus to uncover how periodontal disease risk in Romania is influenced by behavioral and microbial factors.

🧬🪥 Just published! Our new paper introduces the SANA-biome, a biocultural study exploring how diet, lifestyle, and the oral microbiome shape periodontal health in Romania.

Listen to his talk on August 26th in Turin or online!🔥

Wanted to (re-)share that I will be presenting at #Nutrition2025. I will discuss how early-life risk factors for infant rapid weight gain may be linked to the gut microbiome. My presentation will take place this Saturday.

🚨 Exciting News! 🚨

I'll be presenting at the Society for American Archaeology Annual Meeting Friday, April 25th at 1 PM (Colorado time)! 🦷
My talk will explore how the arrival of the Roman Empire along the Lower Danube is associated with oral microbiome shifts.

Excited to join this exciting team and help ensure microbiome is usable for all!

If you're attending, let’s connect! Looking forward to engaging discussions and new collaborations.

Understanding these connections is crucial for identifying at-risk populations and developing preventive strategies. I’m looking forward to discussing these insights with fellow researchers and clinicians!

My talk, "Origins of Health Outcomes: Linking the Gut Microbiome and Early Life Events to Predict Childhood Obesity Risk," will explore how early-life microbiome composition and environmental factors shape health trajectories for infants during the first year of life.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be giving an oral presentation at #Nutrition2025 in Orlando, FL, on May 31, 2025, at 10 AM!

Demographic history and genetic structure in pre-Hispanic Central Mexico Ancient DNA from pre-Hispanic northern and central Mexico reveals population continuity despite changing climates.

In my case. I guess we built the ‘minimal’ aDNA lab. With good results and neglectable levels of modern DNA contamination. An order of magnitude cheaper than GN aDNA labs. aDNA libraries built in this lab ended up in these papers:

I’m excited to share my latest review paper! As someone with a Classics background, it’s been an incredible journey to come full circle and contribute a resource that bridges the gap between classicists and bioarchaeologists.

As the prophets shed the light on what's to come the crowds did gather
Your time is precious, they explained, no time to worry, messiah's coming
Don't go to sleep tonight, darling, hold me in your arms
These will be our final days and I can't let go

“Does the end justify the means? That is possible. What will justify the end? To that question, which historical thought leaves pending, rebellion replies: the means.”
