I studied Pharmacy before pursuing a master's in Pharmaceutical and Biological Sciences at Saint Joseph University of Beirut. My master's topic focused on antimicrobial peptides and their action on multidrug-resistant bacteria. I am currently in my final year of a jointly supervised doctorate between Universite Paris Cite and Saint Joseph University of Beirut. My research focuses on the study of the gut microbiota in COVID-19 children, with a focus on bacterial metabolites and the intestinal mucosal response. My path has allowed me to acquire skills in qPCR, 16S metagenomics, ELISA, GC-MS, and LC-MS/MS.
