Angeli comes from an infectious disease background, in which her MSc thesis focused on the whole-genome sequencing and epidemiology of a community-associated strain of MRSA bacteria. She also worked as a research assistant for an arbovirus laboratory, after which she taught university-level biotechnology, cell biology, and molecular medicine.
Joining the Nezi lab in 2018 as a computational PhD student (SEMM Systems Medicine program), her current work focuses on microbiome-host interaction, in which she uses in silico longitudinal data to tease out mechanistic links between gut microbiota and immunotherapy response among melanoma patients. Since delving into microbiome research she has developed an interest in methods that address compositionality and advocates good research design.
Outside of work Angeli likes to play music and occasionally reads literary fiction and long-form essays.
