Zannah is a Research Assistant, Roving Researcher, and part time PhD student. Her interest in O. hominis began in 2009, when the (unidentified) bacterium appeared in a preliminary microbiome dataset that she generated at the Sanger Institute. In 2017 she sequenced the first genomes from nasal samples, and in 2019 proposed the candidate species. Her PhD project aims to characterise O. hominis’ interactions with other bacteria in the respiratory tract and with the human host.
