Ariangela Kozik is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on the interactions between host and microbiome, particularly in relation to the human airway. Her work investigates the role of Prevotella species, which are common in the airway microbiomes and are implicated in inflammatory and dysbiosis-associated diseases. The lab aims to decipher the contributions of specific Prevotella members to asthma-related airway inflammation and explore how environmental factors affect their behavior. Kozik’s research takes an interdisciplinary approach to study host-microbiome dynamics within the respiratory tract, focusing on chronic disruptions and the systemic inequities affecting these populations.
