Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sangam Kandel's research focuses on the intersection of molecular biology, genomics, and microbial ecology, with a particular emphasis on viral evolution and the gut microbiome's influence on health. Kandel has investigated the genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2, exploring methods for tracking viral genetic diversity and evolution. His work also delves into the complex relationship between chemotherapy treatments, such as cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil, and their physiological and cognitive effects, specifically highlighting the role of the gut microbiome in mediating these changes. Kandel has contributed to the development of computational tools for microbiome analysis, such as CAIM (Coverage-based Analysis for Identification of Microbiome). His research network includes collaborators from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including David W. Ussery, Joshua L. Kennedy, Ashton Ingold, and Christa Corley, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.
