Postdoctoral Researcher
USDA-ARS Western Human Nutrition Research Center
Dr. Jules Larke is a Computational Biologist postdoctoral researcher with the USDA Agricultural Research Service. In Dr. Danielle Lemay’s lab at the Western Human Nutrition Research Center, he studies the role of diet in shaping gut microbial communities and their impact on host health. Additionally, his research seeks to improve dietary assessment by integrating novel food glycan composition data with the current tools and databases used to estimate dietary intake. Dr. Larke’s overarching goal is to continue developing and integrating fine-scale food composition data that accurately captures the molecular detail and diversity of our food to better characterize the relationship between diet and health outcomes.
