Brulc completed her postdoctoral work at the Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology at Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago, where she studied the use of bioinformatics and newly developed genomics technologies both to observe the microbial impact on human gastrointestinal disease states and to assess metabolic potential differentiation and microbial influence on ecosystem development in topsoil environments. This research built upon her Ph.D.
