Bio: I recieved my PhD in natural product chemistry from Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Germany. I am interested in metabolite profiling, structure elucidation and biosynthesis of small molecules. In the Donia lab, I am highly interested in secondary metabolism of human gut microbiome. In my free time, I play violin, practices yoga and sports. I am fascinated with cooking, painting and jewelry designs.

Bio: I trained in marine natural products isolation and structure elucidation at the University of the Philippines with Giselle Concepcion and at the University of Ryukyus in Okinawa with Junichi Tanaka. For my PhD research I studied biosynthesis and natural products engineering at the University of Utah in the laboratory of Eric Schmidt. My research in the Donia lab is focused on small molecules from marine invertebrates and the human microbiome.

 

Mol Bio Graduate Student

jbalaich@princeton.edu

 

Bio:  I grew up in Colorado and received a B.S. from Brigham Young University in microbial genetics in 2013. In 2015 I received my M.S. degree from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health after researching a natural product that inhibited the transmission and development of the malaria parasite. In the Donia lab I am interested in researching human microbiota derived small molecules that impact human health. My hobbies include backpacking in the mountains, photography, videogames, playing sports, cheering on the Denver Broncos and losing to my wife in fantasy football every year.
