Postdoctoral researcher developing high-throughput, single-cell metagenomic sequencing methods, to be used to resolve microbes at the single-cell level.
Jyoti completed her PhD from Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI), India. During her doctoral research, she worked in the field of antimicrobial resistance in human commensals and enteric bacterial pathogens. Furthermore, she continued her research in the investigational study for the determination of microbial community in the vaginal microbiome of pregnant Indian women and establish proof of principle for microbiome-based interventions in inflammatory bowel disease and preterm birth.
Currently, her research is about the single-cell metagenomic sequencing to resolve the microbial communities at the strain level. In order to understand why some people develop chronic oral infections while others do not, she will develop a high-throughput method to reconstruct complete microbial genomes from clinical oral microbiome samples collected from a cohort of Swedish patients.
