About
I am an Associate Professor of Microbiology at the College of Medicine, Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where I have been serving since 2013. My academic responsibilities include teaching undergraduate medical students through lectures, PBL sessions, and laboratory classes in Microbiology, Immunology, and Biochemistry. I have chaired the Molecular Basis of Disease (MBOD) and Principles of Disease (POD I & II) blocks for more than a decade and have also served as the First-Year MBBS Program Coordinator.
My research focuses on clinical microbiology, antimicrobial resistance, infectious diseases, and translational biomedical research. I am particularly interested in multidrug-resistant pathogens, rapid microbial diagnostics using MALDI-TOF MS, and host immune responses against resistant bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii. I also collaborate with the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation as part of the Global Burden of Disease Collaborator Network, contributing to research published in journals including The Lancet and Nature Medicine.
To date, I have authored more than 80 peer-reviewed publications, three patents, and one book chapter, with over 65,000 citations to my work. I have been recognized among the World’s Top 2% Scientists by Stanford University and Elsevier and have delivered invited talks at several national and international scientific conferences.”
