Background

About Nikki Ojili

My interests in leading, collaborating and analytical problem solving have led me to join AstraZeneca as a Clinical Information Science Specialist! I graduated from Duke University’s Master of Management Class of '21 wherein, I had the opportunity to pursue my degree in both the USA and China! I received my B.Sc in Microbiology and Cell Science from the University of Florida. My time at UF and Duke has taught me that I genuinely enjoy involving myself in diverse teams and solving challenging problems to serve my community. During my senior year at UF I served as the captain of the UF iGEM team. iGEM is an international synthetic biology competition with over 320 teams participating from around the globe. I managed a team of 9 undergraduates all coming from different backgrounds and colleges. I conducted extensive research, posed numerous questions, motivated my teammates by setting an example and presented our project to the judges. In addition to my passion for leadership, I enjoy participating in community service projects. Dance Marathon (DM) is a student-run philanthropy organization at UF. Being a part of DM has brought me closer to seeing the big picture of life more than anything else. Currently I am working on the business side of drug development. I look forward to expanding my skillset, making connections, and having a positive impact on patients through my work AstraZeneca
