Ms. Ohaeri is a microbiologist and interdisciplinary researcher with a growing interest in computational biology and translational bioinformatics. She holds a B.Sc. in Microbiology (Second Class Upper Division) from the University of Lagos and has completed certifications in bioinformatics, antimicrobial resistance, and data science.

Her research focuses on the genomic exploration of beneficial microbes—particularly Bacillus coagulans—using genome mining, molecular docking, and pathway modeling to uncover biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and microbial-derived therapeutics. Chioma is also interested in probiotic applications, microbiome-based interventions, and systems biology approaches to disease research.

At the Floret Center, she contributes to comparative genomics, metabolic pathway analysis, and functional annotation pipelines. She is an alumna of the 2024/2025 cohort of the Floret Emerging Scientists Internship Program (FESIP) and is passionate about advancing science at the intersection of microbiology, computation, and public health.
