KAYLIE ZAPANTA PhD
Clinical Research Scientist, Data Programmer, & Science Communicator
Hey there!
I'm a research scientist with an expertise in human physiology and genomics. I have a PhD from the University of Southern California, where I studied nonpharmacological interventions- like nutrition and exercise- in various clinical populations. I now study the microbiome overall in animal and humans alike, and my passion is to determine potential therapeutic strategies to improve gut health, like exercise and diet. My overall goal as a research scientist is to disseminate complicated physiologic mechanisms that impact clinical conditions to the general public in a tangible, engaging way!

When I'm not working on research or teaching, I spend my days finding delicious food in the LA area with my husband, running, weightlifting, and spending time at the beach!
