Top SchoolSarah Tomkovich is a Senior Scientist with eight years of translational microbiome research and industry experience, now applying microbiology and data science expertise at Nestlé Health Science. She combines hands-on wet-lab skills—from anaerobic culture and gnotobiotic mouse models to confocal microscopy and molecular assays—with computational proficiency in R, Snakemake, and linux-based HPC for 16S and metagenomic analyses. Her work bridges bench and biomanufacturing, informed by roles at Seres Therapeutics and academic fellowships at Michigan and Florida focused on how diet and drugs shape susceptibility to C. difficile infection and colorectal cancer. An author on multiple peer-reviewed studies and an active GitHub user, she uniquely pairs mechanistic experiments with reproducible computational pipelines to accelerate microbiome-targeted therapeutics.
