Suzanne Devkota, PhD, is building a career at the convergence of her passions: food, health, and the bugs that live in our guts. Suzanne is director of microbiome research at the F. Widjaja Foundation Inflammatory Bowel and Immunobiology Research Institute and an assistant professor in the Division of Gastroenterology.
A self-described adrenaline junkie, Suzanne brings that same disciplined, thrill-seeking, high-impact energy to her research. She also works very hard to make her research relatable and relevant and can often be found using her toy poo emoji as an ice-breaker!
In our interview, Suzanne focuses on the importance of listening to the scientists and health experts during this ongoing pandemic and also stresses the importance of positivity as we wind our way through these crazy times.
