Baha Abdalhamid, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor at the University of Nebraska College of Medicine

The focus of Dr. Abdalhamid’s research is the antimicrobial resistance mechanisms in Gram-negative bacteria. He has conducted investigations to characterize molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance especially in Gram-negative bacteria. With the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, his research studies are also focusing on finding new effective diagnostics methods to conserve testing reagents and expanding SARS-CoV-2 testing such as group testing for pooled specimens in addition to characterization of SARS-CoV-2 genotypes. He did a micromaster program at University of Maryland Global Campus to solidify his background in bioinformatics.
