Our Faculty

Aly Khan, PhD

My research lab focuses on developing novel computational methods to better understand the complex interactions between immune cells, their environment, and the microbiome. Our goal is to uncover clinically relevant insights and pave the way for new diagnostics and therapies that can improve human health.
