Metagenomics and the Microbiome
Since my PhD I have been interested in the microbiome and it's links to host variation. Using it in a predictive way to help agriculture become more environmentally friendly while increasing our ability to feed the world means that we can have our beef, and eat it too.

The mammalian genome and its genes
New technology is allowing us to look at things that were invisible just a few years before. Applying new technology to understand similarities and differences between individual genomes allows us to look at aspects of the genome and its genes at a scale never before possible.
