Senior🎓
Top SchoolDominick Lemas is an Assistant Professor in Health Outcomes and Policy at the University of Florida with 11 years of research experience exploring fetal origins of pediatric obesity. He earned a PhD in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from the University of Alaska Fairbanks after a BS in Biology from the University of Vermont, and his work blends molecular biology, statistical genetics, and metagenomics to probe maternal-infant metabolic programming. Dominick’s research uniquely focuses on functional host-microbe interactions in early life, linking microbial metabolic signatures to infant adiposity and obesity risk. His background includes hands-on training in mass spectrometry, proteomics, bioinformatics, and ethical research practices from roles spanning Alaska to Colorado, informing community-focused studies in rural and Indigenous populations. Practical, multidisciplinary, and translational, he aims to translate metagenomic insights into actionable understandings of how the maternal environment shapes long-term pediatric health.
