Eliana is an undergraduate research assistant in the Juenger lab. She has assisted on various microbiome projects within the lab and developed a project identifying and isolating relevant bacteriophages. Her research interests include human-microbe interactions, especially bacteriophage and phage therapy, and the gut-brain axis. Following her time at the Juenger lab, she will join Dr. Joe Edwards at Texas A&M University as a lab manager, and hopefully pursue a PhD in microbiology.
