Biography

I graduated from Medical School at Cairo University. I received my MSC.degree and PhD degree from Cairo University in Clinical Pathology, with Medical Microbiology as my subspecialty.  I worked as a Medical Microbiologist and an Infection Control Consultant at Cairo university Hospitals. I moved to Canada in 2005 and after obtaining my Medical Counsel of Canada certification, I joined the residency program at University of Toronto medical microbiology department for re-training and obtained my Royal College certification in 2013.  I worked as a Medical Microbiologist at Fraser Health Authority Hospitals from October 2013 to June 2015. I then accepted a position as a Medical Microbiologist at St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto and have worked there since July 2015.  I am interested in antimicrobial resistance, improving diagnostics in the medical microbiology laboratory and other quality improvement initiatives.             I graduated from Medical School at Cairo University.

Research Interest

I have a wide a wide scope of research interests in medical microbiology, including hospital epidemiology, molecular microbiology, infection control, quality improvement and patient safety. My research philosophy can be simply summarized in this statement; ‘From bench to bedside’, I am mainly focused on research that can be translated into an improved quality of care for our patients. As an example of quality focused research, I have participated in a research study focused on the molecular surveillance and detection of mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in Chlamydia trachomatis. For the purposes of this epidemiological study, I have participated in adapting and optimizing a method for multilocus sequence typing to be used to identify potential clinical of treatment failure in short order.
