SPEAKER

I am a Professor and Consultant Medical Microbiologist with extensive expertise in clinical microbiology, molecular diagnostics, and public health.

I currently serve as a faculty member at King Saud University’s College of Medicine and as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Nature and Science of Medicine.

With over 15 years of experience, my work focuses on advancing antimicrobial resistance research, infectious disease diagnostics, and public health policy.
I am particularly interested in antimicrobial stewardship, emerging infectious diseases, and microbial pathogenesis.

My academic and professional qualifications include:

  • Fellow, Royal College of Physicians of Canada (FRCPC)
  • American Board of Medical Microbiology (D(ABMM))
  • Fellow, Molecular Diagnostic in Medical Microbiology, University of Alberta, Canada (FMDMM)
  • Fellow, Canadian College of Microbiologists (FCCM)
  • Master of Public Health (MPH), Boston University, USA

As a researcher in antimicrobial resistance, I have authored numerous high-impact publications and have been invited to speak at prestigious international conferences, sharing insights on microbial epidemiology, innovative diagnostic technologies, and infectious disease control.

In addition to my academic and clinical roles, I serve as a consultant to the Public Health Authority (Weqaya), where I contribute to strategic efforts in infectious disease management, surveillance, and policy development.

I am passionate about medical microbiology, research, and education, and I strive to contribute to public health and infectious disease control on both a national and global scale.
