More about her work in the Dennis Lab:

Her research looks at the role of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) as a genetic factor affecting COVID-19 outcomes. This involves identifying HERV sequences in whole genome sequencing data and testing them for associations with measures of COVID-19 symptom severity and persistence.
