About
Dr. Ozga is broadly interested in host genetic and microbial variation across human populations and non-human primate species. His work focuses on oral microbial diversity in wild chimpanzee populations, such as those residing within Gombe National Park in Tanzania, as well as oral and gut microbial variation in underrepresented Native American communities in North and South America. Current research includes an effort to understand the impact that host genetics and oral health on oral microbial communities in South Florida residents. He has also has interests and experience in ancient DNA analysis, full mitochondrial and nuclear genome reconstruction, and community engagement in topics related to genetics and biology.
