Ashley Wolf

Ashley Wolf is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, holding a joint appointment in the School of Public Health and the Center for Computational Biology. Her research focuses on understanding gut microbiome composition and its roles in mammalian health, particularly exploring diet, microbial competition, and host factors influencing microbiome structure.

• Education: PhD in Systems Biology from Harvard University (2010s), AB in Molecular Biology from Princeton University (2000s)

Her lab integrates human microbiome data, laboratory models, and computational methods to design microbial therapeutics. Key research areas include microbial metabolism of dietary components, bacterial competition dynamics, and microbiome impacts on host physiology.

Selected publications highlight work on microbiome bioremediation, bile acid-glucose metabolism links, and mitochondrial RNA processing in human and model organisms. No awards explicitly listed, though her work aligns with emerging trends in systems biology and public health.
