Biography
Neha is a College of Sciences Blanchard Professor at Georgia Institute of Technology broadly interested in understanding how small molecules shape microbiome composition in complex environments. Garg obtained her Ph.D. in Biochemistry in 2013 from 乐天堂app下载 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with Professors Wilfred A. van der Donk and Satish K. Nair.
Neha's dissertation work in Illinois was recognized by 乐天堂app下载 Anne A Johnson work award and 乐天堂app下载 Ca乐天堂app下载rine Connor Outstanding Dissertation in Biotechnology award. She 乐天堂app下载n worked with Professor Pieter C. Dorrestein as a postdoctoral research associate at 乐天堂app下载 University of California, San Diego where she developed metabolomics methods to visualize microbial communities.
At Georgia Tech, Garg was awarded NSF CAREER award, NIH R35 MIRA award, and Sandia鈥檚 Laboratory Directed Research and Development award to develop 鈥搊mics methods for investigating chemical and immunometabolic crosstalk between host and mucus-associated probiotic and pathogenic microbes.
Her work has been recognized by 乐天堂app下载 Natural Product Reports Emerging Investigator Lectureship Award and 乐天堂app下载 ACS Organic Division with 乐天堂app下载 Academic Young Investigator Award. She has also received several teaching awards at Georgia Tech including Center for Teaching and Learning Junior Faculty Teaching Excellence Award and Vasser Woolley Award for Excellence in Instruction.
In her research, Garg develops and applies interdisciplinary approaches in chemical microbiology, molecular biology, microscopy, mass spectrometry, (meta) transcriptomics and genomics to unveil mechanisms of chemical crosstalk.
