Nicole Zitzmann[edit]

Nicole Zitzmann is the Head of the Antiviral Research Unit and Director of the Oxford Glycobiology Institute, Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford. When she is not doing this heroic and immensely important work, she is a Biochemistry Fellow and Lecturer in Medicine at Merton College in Oxford.[1] She currently lives in the United Kingdom.

Professor of Virology at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. She is also the Associate Head of Department of Infection and Disease Processes in the Department of Biochemistry, also at the University of Oxford. She has been working at the University since 2010.[2]

Zitzmann's main focus is on diseases such as Hepatitis B virus, Hepatitis C virus, and HIV and provided a lot of necessary research to these areas of virology.

Research[edit]

While working at the University of Oxford in the Biochemistry Department, she has developed a large quantity of crucial information and has published 196 dense research publications that deal with all things viruses. [3] Her most recent publication, which was published in March of 2021 is titled "Assessing Antigen Structural Integrity of an Approved COVID Vaccine through Glycosylation Analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 Viral Spike". Like mentioned before, this work is very dense and intelligently written with at least 15 different authors and researchers writing this article. Most recently, her work is almost entirely about the COVID-19 virus that caused the pandemic from March 2020 until the present.

Accomplishments[edit]

In 2018, Zitzmann spoke at the BIT's 7th Annual World Congress of Infectious Diseases (WCID) in Bangkok, Thailand[4]. BIT Congress is a corporation that hosts large conferences and seminars to highlight important scientific issues in a congressional setting. Her talk was on the topic she specializes in, which is infectious diseases. There were 21 other speakers who are highly professional researchers and scientists that spoke about a wide range of topics from infections and diseases to molecular genetics. The convention was two days long and it costed about $1850 to attend. The audience and scientists were from all around the world attending the 50 panel sessions and forums that took place, with the intention of ending world disease.

Social Media Presence[edit]

Nicole Zitzmann has created hundreds of essential publications in the world of viral medicine that range from incredibly diverse and relevant topics such as COVID19. She is also very active on the Internet, with her own Twitter page dedicated to her laboratory and everyone that works beneath her. On this Twitter page, there are multiple links to her webinars called COVID Conversations that take a deep examination into all things COVID and how this virus impacts the body, especially the respiratory system.
