Dr Anastasia Koch

Anastasia co-founded Eh!woza together with artist Ed Young in 2013. The organisation operates at the intersection of public engagement, youth advocacy, and skills development to merge the biology of infectious disease with its social impact. Before working full-time on the day-to-day and conceptual work of Eh!woza, Anastasia was a junior research fellow at the Molecular Mycobacteriology Research Unit (MMRU). She maintains an honorary research position and has a strong interest in using genomics to investigate the pathobiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, where she works closely with Digby Warner at the MMRU.
