Dr. Eloe-Fadrosh joined the JGI in 2014 to pursue her research interests in microbial ecology and metagenomics. Her current research focuses on leveraging thousands of metagenomic datasets from host-associated and environmental samples to identify and characterize genomic information from uncultivated microbes and viruses. Prior to joining the JGI, she was a Bioinformatics Program Fellow at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation as part of the Marine Microbiology Initiative. She conducted her postdoctoral training in human microbiome research at the Institute for Genome Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and her graduate work in microbial oceanography at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. She stepped into the Metagenome Program Lead position in 2017. She also leads the DOE’s multi-lab National Microbiome Data Collaborative (NMDC).
