Dr. Omar El-Halfway and his team are performing excellent research on genomics of bacteria to understand the mode of action of resistance to antibiotics. This research is crucial to developing modern antibiotics which can combat resistant bacteria.

I really appreciate Omar and his team for sharing their research and findings with us.

Thank you to Dr. Omar El-Halfawy for the lab tour. It was an impressive demonstration of the U of R’s scientific strengths. Your research on Chemogenomics are an important step in fighting superbugs. It is also important that we recognize that labs like this need proper funding so that they can continue their essential research and support graduate researchers.
