Ben Neubert

Ben began his Ph.D in the Computational Biology and Bioinformatics program at Duke University in 2020 and joined the David Lab the following year. He holds a B.S. in biomedical engineering from the University of Virginia, where his undergraduate research focused on applying computational techniques to improve the curation of genome-scale metabolic network models. In the lab, Ben utilizes FoodSeq technology to explore global dietary variations and their health implications. He has also co-founded a startup venture, Outrack, to develop an innovative medical device for automated urine and stool measurement in hospital settings. Outside the lab, he enjoys spending time with friends and family, hiking, reading, and playing video games.
