Speaker: Chathuri Kombala, PhD
Postdoctoral Research Associate, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)

Chathuri Kombala currently works as a chemical biology post-doctoral research associate at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). She received her BS from University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, and her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Arizona in 2020. As a member of WSU-PNNL joint program in microbiome science, she developed and utilized chemical biology tools to assess the functional rhythmicity in gut microbiome and host peripheral organs. Her current research focus is to understand the link between the microbiome and host circadian rhythms using multi-omics and chemical biology approaches.
