Olawumi Otutu

A detail-oriented Research Assistant with hands-on experience performing clerical and laboratory work to advance research goals. Drives team success with expertise in data review, reporting and specimen handling. Specializes in medical microbiology, infectious diseases and genomics research. My long-term research interests span various topics within the infectious disease and genomics fields. I am interested in utilising next-generation technologies to understand the interaction between host microbiome, risk, diversity and severity of infections. Similarly, I am interested in using next-generation technologies to understand the fundamental biological processes of infectious agents within the host, including community associations, selective responses to treatment options, etc. I am currently undergoing training in the use of the Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencer and bioinformatics tools for analysing the genomics of infectious agents.
