Dr. Annie Levine joins the lab

Dr. Annie Levine joins the lab as a clinical fellow. Annie is a fellow in pediatric gastroenterology at Seattle Children’s Hospital. She graduated from Harvard with a BA in Slavic Languages and Literatures and earned her MD at the University of Pittsburgh in 2017. After completing her residency in pediatrics at Brown University in Providence, RI, she moved to Seattle in 2020 to start her clinical fellowship.
Annie has been doing research in inflammatory bowel disease since 2011, examining disease complications, the interplay between inflammation and mood, and interactions between the gut microbiome, diet, and the pathogenesis of intestinal inflammation. She looks forward to adding computational methods to her clinical and statistical tool kit in order to identify potential targets for innovative dietary and therapeutic interventions in inflammatory bowel disease.
Outside the lab, Annie enjoys sailing, scuba diving, cooking, opera, annoying her cats (Greylien and Pippin), and hiking with her corgi, Oliver, and husband David.
