Joshua Kellogg is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences at Penn State University. His research focuses on a transdisciplinary approach that integrates analytical metabolomics, chemical biology, natural products chemistry, and molecular biology to characterize bioactive natural products and their interaction with therapeutic targets to modulate health across human, plant, and animal domains. His lab actively pursues ethnobotanical collaborations to discover novel plant chemistry and studies the role of botanical and environmental microbiomes, particularly in relation to fungi and antimicrobial metabolites. He is engaged in various research projects including the examination of phyllosphere antimicrobial compounds, volatile metabolomics to elucidate bacterial-fungal interactions in the soil environment, and the dynamics of gut homeostasis related to microbiome metabolism of dietary plants. His comprehensive research aims to develop new bioanalytical and computational tools to enhance analytical capabilities in metabolomic analyses, chemistry, and infectious disease biology.
