Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Research

Paliy Lab

The research in Dr. Oleg Paliy’s Laboratory is focused on the studies of complex microbial communities associated with human gastrointestinal system.

Vijay Shankar continues his research in Dr. Paliy's lab after graduating with his Ph.D. in the spring. His research involves the use of high-throughput sequencing technologies and multivariate statistics to interrogate the community structure, function and metabolic capabilities of human gut microbiomes in health and disease. Shankar was also published in Molecular Ecology "Application of multivariate statistical techniques in microbial
