Katia Chadaideh is a postdoctoral research fellow with a joint appointment at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Katia received her PhD from the department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard GSAS, working in the Nutritional and Microbial Ecology Lab under Dr. Rachel Carmody. She is broadly interested in how the gut microbiome influences metabolic health outcomes. Her dissertation research investigated the impacts of dietary fat type on host-microbial interactions in fat metabolism. She also conducted experiments exploring the therapeutic potential of a class of dietary polyphenols called proanthocyanidins (PACs) for driving gut microbial signatures that mitigate obesogenic phenotypes. Katia is working under the advisement of Dr. Daniel Wang, Dr. Curtis Huttenhower, and Dr. Meir Stampfer to expand our view of host-microbial interactions through the discovery of biomarkers for cardiometabolic health and disease. She designs question-driven analyses of large-scale human population datasets including the Nurses’ Health Study, the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, and the DIRECT-PLUS and MIND trials.
