Natural Product Reports is delighted to welcome Professor Neha Garg to the Editorial Board.
About Neha
Neha Garg is a College of Sciences Blanchard Professor at Georgia Institute of Technology Tech broadly interested in understanding how small molecules shape microbiome composition in complex environments. Garg obtained her Ph.D. in Biochemistry in 2013 from the 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 the Anne A Johnson work award and the Catherine Connor Outstanding Dissertation in Biotechnology award. She then worked with Professor Pieter C. Dorrestein as a postdoctoral research associate at the 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’s Laboratory Directed Research and Development award to develop –omics methods for investigating chemical and immunometabolic crosstalk between host and mucus-associated probiotic and pathogenic microbes. Her work has been recognized by the Natural Product Reports Emerging Investigator Lectureship Award and the ACS Organic Division with the 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.
