Nancy Holroyd
Small organism sequencing
Nancy began working with Carol Churcher [see Carol's people page] in Bart Barrell's lab at the Medical Research Council in 1993. The team then moved to the Sanger Institute where Nancy worked as a pathogen finisher. The role of a pathogen finisher is to produce high quality, complete genomic sequences of pathogens. Nancy then decided to study zoology in order to formally train for the industry. In 1997 Nancy returned to the Sanger Institute where she worked on many different organisms that cause diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and meningitis. Currently, Nancy leads the Small Sequencing team which provides a tailored sequencing service for all the faculty groups onsite.
