Dr. Sonny Lee, PhD., Assistant Professor at Kansas State University, is an integrative microbiologist, with his work grounded in the field of microbiology, ecology and molecular biology with application to promote pro-health in human host, agricultural and the environment. His research relies heavily on bioinformatics, microbiological and molecular techniques to elucidate the mechanism of microbial populations in the contribution to the well-being of the host. His lab investigates the diversity and mechanism of the microbial population by looking at the microbiome as a whole holobiont, while using a reductionist approach in elucidating the role microbial populations play in maintaining the homeostasis of the microbiome.
