About
Naomi Habib is a leading researcher at the forefront of viral detection and pandemic response technologies. Her primary research focus lies in developing innovative, high-throughput molecular diagnostics, with a particular emphasis on scalable solutions for pathogen surveillance. Dr. Habib’s major contributions center on the creation of extraction-free, early-pooling protocols that dramatically increase testing capacity. Her seminal work, "Early sample tagging and pooling enables simultaneous SARS-CoV-2 detection and variant sequencing" (2021, 11 citations), introduced a method that bypasses traditional RNA extraction, allowing for the rapid, cost-effective processing of thousands of samples. This was further refined in her protocol "ApharSeq: An Extraction-free Early-Pooling Protocol for Massively Multiplexed SARS-CoV-2 Detection" (2020, 5 citations). By enabling both detection and variant sequencing from a single, streamlined workflow, her research has been instrumental in addressing critical bottlenecks during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing a powerful tool for real-time genomic surveillance and public health decision-making.
